  Let me start by stating that I had no idea what the story was about before seeing this movie, except in very general terms. But being a huge period movie fan, I just had to see it, especially since the always excellent Emma Thompson was in it. Well, I was quite disappointed. I found it slow and quite bland. Having not read the book, I cannot comment on its adaptation. I just felt that something was missing in the telling of the story, while some parts dragged on interminably. That being said, the acting was very good. Emma Thompson was especially spot on in her portrayal of an overbearing strict catholic mother. From "Stranger than Fiction" to this... is there a better character actress alive? I think not. Thompson's excellent performance boosts my rating to a 6/10... but it doesn't save this movie in my book. It's a slow and seemingly awkward story.
(6/10)
