Review title: Sorry, but the reviewers were right!
Product review: Many Amazon reviewers seem determined to rescue this film from the "savage" reviewers. Sadly, though, the reviewers were mostly right. At times the film can look quite well. But the script is so banal that it invites parody. And as Alma, a woman who fascinated a series of the greatest artistic figures of her time (and by no means only the three that she married), Beresford cast an Aussie "girl next door" who was pretty enough but projected not an ounce of charisma. Perhaps the best spirit in which to watch this film is as a case study in how an experienced and frequently-successful director was able to get so many different things wrong in a single project.
