I watched a movie (or was is a mini-series?) of Brideshead Revisited some time ago and I really didn't get it... Now I get it better. I like it better but it's still not my favorite. Waugh does a great job taking you back to the early 20th century and gives a good insight into a era that was seeing its last days.

3 or 4 stars? 3.5? Definitely liked it but I wasn't as compelled as I hoped to be, especially in the third act
