Boring adaptation. The novel is so much better.

I haven't read the novel so I can't compare the quality, but overall, I quite enjoyed this film adaptation more than I thought I would. It's quite relatable too; how many of us are stuck with a life that is far removed from our earliest aspirations?

A poor adaptation of Gustave Flaubert’s classic novel, Madame Bovary is monotonous and cliché. The story follows a young woman who marries a country doctor, but finding her new life unfulfilling, she starts to spend recklessly and seeks out new lovers. Mia Wasikowska gives a strong performance but the character is underdeveloped. The film never really delves into the why behind her infidelity and excessive spending, which makes her come off as a rather shallow character. And the dialog is quite dry, with no passion to it. However, the film looks beautiful; with elaborate costumes and set designs. Also, the score does a good job at setting the mood and tone. Yet despite its first class production values, Madame Bovary has no heart.
