This is Such a fromalic basic film that is hard to believe its a true story ..for a start..the real lady wasn't a beauty by any standard..choosing an actress that is more of the plain side would at least give it that REAL feel ..think the wonderful film (Séraphine ) and how believable it was...
also the authentic period piece feel was missing ..and the love story forced and unbelievable...the feminist tone also feels forced like its the case in most of the new productions...its a watchable film that feels like a standard bbc production which isnt a bad thing for a period film lover.
