Great costumes and period piece sets but where's the plot?

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2020)

I got hustled and so did critics! I think critics were enamored with this movie's period piece sets, costumes and music which admittedly are exceptional. The plot however is terrible and isn't that really the foundation of any good film? I was amazed that this star-studded cast was able to make something of this film despite terrible screen-writing which is why I gave it 2 stars!
I usually have no trouble staying focused on slow moving films, but this one set a new bar - a low bar. Some action would have made up for its subpar plot, but even that wasn't in this film. Or some cleverness like in the Oceans movie series (which are admittedly over-rated) would have helped salvage this film. But that wasn't here either!
My best advice - if you haven't seen this highly nominated (and awarded) film yet; pass it up and find something else with a good plot, some action or some clever dialogue to pass the time.
