Not bad, not wonderful either

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2020)

First point, Olivia Coleman richly deserved the Oscar, she is a wonderful actor in everything she does and she really does in this. The rest of the actors do a fine job as well, direction is excellent, the script isn't bad either so what's wrong with this picture?
Well it just doesn't seem to gel for me and the ending is a bit weird. It's supposed to be, loosely, based on real events, well we know these people really existed but we're not privy to their conversations even if we know some of heir actions so take it with a pinch of salt.
So you need to suspend belief that this is what really went on between these 3 women. A lot of the historical facts have been left out, can't cram everything into a 90+ minute film but an understanding of Anne's depression would have helped.
My main dislike in the entire film, and a lot of our reviewers have mentioned this, was the soundtrack, as a musician I can't call a lot of if music. I mean one note on a piano over a number of minutes is not music, did they get some Chimps to write it? If they'd come to me first I would have written something a hundred times better for at least half the fee paid.
It's a watch once film.
