Storyline

A saga of class relations and changing times in an Edwardian England on the brink of modernity, the film centers on liberal Margaret Schlegel, who, along with her sister Helen, becomes involved with two couples: wealthy, conservative industrialist Henry Wilcox and his wife Ruth, and the downwardly mobile working-class Leonard Bast and his mistress Jackie.

“A superbly-mounted adaptation of E.M. Forster's tale of British class tension, with exceptional performances all round, Howard's End ranks among the best of Merchant-Ivory's work.”

Adapted from E.M. Forster's novel of human connections and follies, this newest film from the James Ivory / Ishmail Merchant / Ruth Prower Jhabvala team is close to flawless.

From start to finish, Howards End is a sumptuous visual delight. But the beauty of this film is far more than skin deep.

A more troubling and rigorous inquest into a bygone era than usual.

RTDeep Focus ReviewAug 26, 2026

Howards End is a film of great feeling, both expressed and restrained, but also of great wit and social awareness. Like Forster, the Merchant Ivory filmmakers yearn for a world that has evolved beyond petty constructs of class and tradition.
