A reasonable film with a few laughs but an award winning classic? No

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2019)

This is a historical film with almost little substance to actual history of the time. It is quite funny in a few parts and the period costumes and settings are quite good.
However it is not a classic. The story is OK but is really something of nothing. The shock factor it tries to deliver doesn't work nowadays and the ending is just non existent. As the credits came up there was almost an audible "eh?" from the audience as the film came to virtually no conclusion.
Maybe I am not cultured or arty enough to get why this film is seen as so brilliant, I don't know, but I really don't get the fuss.
Olivia Coleman is quite good but I don't see how critics are saying its an award winning performance. In fact I thought Emma Stones performance was far more worth of mention.
