Just saw this film, read a scathing review here, and felt compelled to balance the scales for this great movie.
We loved it! Visually it is 100% on point: the cinematography, costumes, hair, sets, and styling.
The acting was also very strong, and the script solid. Not sure what the negative reviewer watched, but we felt it was a great ensemble cast that achieved many emotional, nuanced moments.
I am drawn to "period pieces" like this and found it to be quite wonderful. I will be recommending it to friends.
