    Blanchette is great - very convincing. The story line, although a little "thin", its setting and cinematography is excellent.

    Those who do go with the fantasy are probably hopeless romantics.
  2. Not a movie, it's a museum catalog of gorgeously rendered portraits and landscapes. What a crashing disappointment.

    A bland and dour screen version of Sebastian Faulks' highly engrossing bestseller.
