Puerile and pretentious

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2019)

Why take a slice of history only to use it as a playground for puerile lesbian fantasies and obscure metaphores? Why engage such a fine actress as Ms Colman only to indulge in blatant misogyny? Why use a camera as a crutch, only to bludgeon poor viewers with it? Acting is good, at times, costumes are excellent, but on the whole it is a bore fest, and the director comes out as a 12-year-old-minded boy with a love for smutty.
