Brideshead Revisited stars Matthew Goode and Emma Thompson

Fans of the landmark TV series look away. This truncated take on Evelyn Waugh’s tale of an Oxford student (Goode) and the aristocratic Catholic family he befriends doesn’t compare. Particularly galling is the reduction of Lady Marchmain (a top-form Thompson) to a virtual cameo in the film’s muddled second half. This is one classic you may not wish to revisit.
