lower your expectations and you can get through this!

Rating: 5/10 (18 February 2019)

The problem with this film and to me the reason it has so many negative / low votes is because i get the impression people go into it expecting it to be like a merchant ivory 'remains of the day' or a classic 'pride and prejudice type film when its actually more a self indulgent playful art house film that clearly has a good cast and healthy budget...
i do agree that a couple of times the same repeated piece of music had me almost reaching for the mute button and some of the ballroom scenes were like they were taken from Adam Ants prince charming video but over all it wasn't terrible mainly due to the strong 3 lead females...
it's worth a watch if only to make up your own mind after reading the reviews that are poles apart
i'm stuck on the fence
5/10
