Negative Positive
Title: I wanted to like this but...
Review: This film just didn't do it. I enjoy period dramas, have watched most of them, was not expecting an exciting plot, or fast moving story, but half way through, it really fell flat. There wasn't enough material to make a film about. Or the director didn't showcase the material well. I don't know which. After the film made it clear that her talents weren't appreciated, there wasn't much more to tell. She was a great talent, and it was unfortunate that she wasn't given her due. Marie Feret was very good. I wish the director had spent more of the film in closer observation of her and not so much on her family which seemed like "filler".The reviews on the DVD cover are exagerated. There is so much film garbage out that this seems like a good film in comparison. But this film was disappointing. I was really expecting to like it.
Is the review positive or negative?
