As a romance, it's not that surprising, but as a historical film, it is very good and very entertaining. It fits well with how the relationships are asexual and even a kiss can mean a lot. The acting is excellent, that's primarily what this film is about, because otherwise it would just be another romantic drama, although, true, an entertaining one.

The combination of Ivory and Forster seems to be very popular. This is a mature, interesting and even engaging work. The debuting Bonham Carter gives a hint of all her future qualities, and the cohort of co-stars are firmly established in the cramped confines of their roles - there's an old-fashioned Maggie, an emancipated Judi, and a traditionally Stanislavsky-armed Daniel Day-Lewis. If you enjoy heritage films, you will be very satisfied.
