After seeing lots of negative reviews i didn't expect much, and whilst its far from being a classic or even memorable, the film has its moments and its worth a watch at least once.

Yes the storyline is slimmer than slim, but the film at least gets on with it unlike some 2.5 hours films that drag on and on, this is just half of that runtime and speeds things along which honestly is a plus point for the film, had it been over two hours i probably wouldn't even recommend a rewatch.

Is it believable that a Florence Nightingale effect happened just because she fell off her horse and got carted into his boarding school room after dragging her, not really, just ends up a bit cringey with the age differences, maybe with younger eyes i would have viewed this as 'aye get in there you lucky b'stard!'

Other than the pretty questionable plot and believability, the ending just seemed 'oh sod it' someone got writers block, so yeah its worth a watch once if just for Winona Ryder, just go into it with i know its kinda crap mindset and your do ok!
