don't be fooled by the trailer, it's not what you think

Rating: 4/10 (5 April 2019)

I was sucked in by the trailer and paid to rent it for home viewing. I give way to other reviewers here and warn it is a period piece with no meat on the bone. this is No Valmont or Amadeus. Some of the scenes seem like vaudeville and not in a good way. One asks oneself , " where'd that come from ? ". When a film makes you feel uncomfortable for no apparent reason ie to challenge you or give you a new perspective , one you had't thought of ,it becomes patently gratuitous. And I for one don't believe the film is the least bit authentic. Unfortunately as is so often the case you don't realize it until you have wasted an hour watching it. Read the negative reviews on offer here. You'll be better served by them than by watching this movie. Emma Stone ; lovely, movie ; almost ghastly.
