Far from the Madding Crowd

DramaRomance119 min

Carey Mulligan is Bathsheba Everdene, a headstrong young woman in Victorian England whose independence draws three very different men into her life. Gabriel Oak, a hardworking sheep farmer brought with quiet steadiness by Matthias Schoenaerts, offers loyalty and practical sense. Sergeant Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge) arrives with charm and recklessness, while Michael Sheen’s William Boldwood courts her with wealth and reserve. Across fields, storms, and the demands of farm life, Bathsheba’s choices around love and marriage ripple through her work, her household, and the people around her.
