Bland and predictable

Rating: 3/10 (15 September 2019)

What a disappointment! I was hoping to spend a couple of hours being entertained by an interesting period comedy / drama. Instead I was confronted to the umpteenth rehashing of a story that I feel like I've seen hundreds of times, and with a plot about as believable as a unicorn steak. The meddling protagonist is fairly insufferable, and of course lurve triumphs in the end, for she leaves a brilliant future with a dashing rich fiancee, to marry instead the incredibly well spoken and erudite pig farmer. As if.
Add to that that the acting is wooden and the script painfully conventional; this is the dream movie for your old auntie who votes for a populist party and thinks the world is going to the dogs. Everyone else -- give a wide berth.
