Might be the last Lily James flick worth watching

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2018)

The one who did deliver earth-shattering performance, albeit as a miniature, was Jessica Brown Findlay. She didn't need any hand-holding. Took what little she was given and ran with it. Now it becomes clear why was she so afraid of Downton Abbey and wanted early exit. She used similar "method" there - took whatever little was given and turned it into something substantial on hew own. She was probably not given anything further to work with which was a red flag indeed. Now I wish someone would put her Ophelia somewhere on-line.
Lily James wasn't anything close to it, just a sketch of what she can, or could have done. After that horror named "Mamma Mia" I don't have much hope left but I hope I'm wrong and that she was terribly sick while ding that "other thing". But she will have to get back to top shape, both physically and mentally very fast.
Decent, watchable flick, albeit sinking into ridiculous "designer romantic" ending. Director doing much more than the lead, but showing what she can do with good guidance and decent light and photography. Unfortunately all that is gone after that other thing and no one can have the faintest idea whether that's reversible or is she going to remain the premature 50 that no one dares to do a close-up with anymore. It could also be that Lily James tends to fall for chick-lit-ish content.
A warning for people reading this - if you haven't seen that other thing - just don't :-) It will haunt you like an early childhood trauma for years. Keep your eyes closed, pray hard and wait the next year - might help :-))
Oh and another great miniature, by that redhead chick called Isola :-) I kept staring at her, sure that I saw that face before but I just couldn't place it anywhere. Because she looked much younger here. We know her as the matriarch from "Humans". They should have let Mia do a cameo - that would be something :-)
