A very well made film.Good acting showing warts and all. Compared to a simular American film . No contest

Very well done portrayal of an episode of English history in which neither the heroine nor the villain came out well. Wanted to reach into the screen and shake Emily Watson hard, so that's a sign of a job well done.

Didn't really enjoy this at all. Emily Watson is annoying and the real life character she was portraying was frustratingly naive and stupid.

This is a very good movie. Leaves some questions unanswered, but they can't be.
