The Claim (2000) short review

Kendra April 30, 2000

2000 The Claim

I really like this adaptation of Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge, which resets the tale in the 1860s American West. All of the cast are stellar, from Sarah Polley to Wes Bentley, Milla Jovovich, and Peter Mullan. The costumes are mostly pioneer-sensible except for Lucia/Jovovich and the other prostitutes.
