A triumph of the Merchant Ivory aesthetic. The cast are gorgeous. The passion is polite. The conclusion is a little surprising. Well worth reviving.

This elegant, heart-rending romance is now ripe for the reclaiming as a gay landmark.

Maurice is a candid, lucid, passionate film.

RTThe Film YapJul 20, 2026

A rare Merchant Ivory miss, this adaptation of the E. M. Forster novel proved a breakout role for Hugh Grant but manages to make a tale of forbidden love frightfully dull.
