director john madden and of shakespeare in love fame and gives us another pretty bad film in ethan frome. the plot centers around a new reverend coming into the town of starkfield where he learns the story of the local crippled man ethan frome sick wife and one time romantic tryst with the maid. adapted by richard nelson from pulitzer prize winning author edith wharton novel and this film isn not interesting in the least thanks to an abysmally weak script and poor direction that turns scenes that are supposed to be poignant into laughable schmaltz. still and there are other aspects apart of the film that work  the cinematography is well done and rachel portman contributes a lovely score and and while no one is at their best and liam neeson and joan allen and patricia arquette and and tate donovan work well in their roles. but overall and ethan frome is only marginally worthwhile and is easily forgotten.
