Emperor's new clothes

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2019)

I'm sorry but I agree with chrisbrady1. I really wanted to like this film but became more and more bemused by the ponderous plot, pretentious camera angles and appalling, irritating soundtrack. Three great female actors carried what was a simple story by acting really well but surely they deserved better. I won't simplify the plot to avoid spoilers but it really didn't justify a 2 hour film. If this was some arty-farty effort to win awards by passing off a minor moment in history as significant - using world-class actresses, sex, weird camerawork (fisheye - yes that's the way I want to see my entertainment) and anvil and hammer music then well done - you conned me out of Â£11. Three stars for three stars.
