Title: Disappointed
Review: I love period pieces and bought this movie with high hopes because of the good reviews. I was disappointed by its lack of depth and the feeling that the acting was forced and artificial. The actors came across as if they weren't comfortable with the story themselves. British period pieces - to which I am accustomed - usually have much more depth than this movie, which I found to be quite simplistic. The costuming and sets are well done and everything is top quality except the acting and the script. The attitudes of many of the actors seemed too modern to be believable and the plot and character development seemed a bit forced. I really wanted to love it, but I found this movie an unsatisfying disappointment. Obviously there are many others who like this movie, so maybe I'm in the minority. I'm not sorry I saw it - it just didn't have the quality of the good period pieces I love.
Is the review positive or negative?
