Lovely.

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2018)

What a lovely, beautiful movie. The book is one of my top 5 favorites and I wasn't disappointed by this adaptation. Lily James was perfectly cast as Juliet, and Jessica Brown Finlay was a fabulous Elizabeth. All the characters were well cast! Some reviews said the character development was nowhere near that of the book and I say.. obviously not. A book has the ability to show depth of character that films usually can't. If you read the book and you know these characters, you have plenty of background to fill in what a 2 hour film doesn't have time to show. It's a quietly lovely film that no one who loves the book or historical fiction should miss!
