The 20s never die, 14 June 2009
7/10
Author: stensson from Stockholm, Sweden

It's become a genre in itself; these stories of English aristocracy 90 years ago. This is based on a Noel Coward play. It doesn't make things worse, because Coward remains rather underestimated, due to his main subject...yes, English aristocracy of the not so past.

Here, the Detroit princess marries the young heir. His mother is a monster and his sisters aren't much better. A power struggle starts and it's a rather intelligent struggle, not at least because of this tremendous acting by Kristin Scott Thomas.

Lots of foxes, green fields and ladies' cardigans here. But they are all quite entertaining and far from stupid.
