Review: (#1, C+) A five-panel design is common enough but the use of the intertitles of four of the sections overlaying the figures they best apply to is an interesting motif and saves it from utter obscurity.

Trailer Rating: B

Review: (#1, B) The pacing is a bit dull but the storyline sizzles as do the performances. There’s a lot of potential in this period drama but will it be enough to entice audiences? That’s less certain.

Oscar Prospects:

Ian McKellen could be up for a late-career accolade but the film’s September release is worrisome.
