dani M @RT30478461 Mar 19, 2025 It begins with a blessing it ends with a curse. Quite a good movie, London, beautiful Scotland, story of photography and then somewhere in the middle it deflates ... Why am I watching? What am I watching? See more Alain E @AlainE Dec 4, 2024 Big fan of the late Tom Wilkinson, but I could not last enough to watch him on this feature. This movie would be bad if done by a student, let alone a professional. Start with the introduction, as we see the opening credits. The same scenes back and forth. No imagination at all. Then, they bring someone dead with terrible acting by the survivors. Next! See more Aug 1, 2023 It's passable Minnie Driver has really good acting chops next to Tom Wilkinson There's virtually no music throughout much of this so it might feel stagnant for many viewers Intuition, creativity and passion are sprinkled throughout this 1840's period drama next to forbidden love and dreams of photography in its infancy See more Jan P @RT22164871 May 8, 2023 I love this film. Not only for the performances and period but because it [deliberately?] documents the existence of cutting-edge women photographers who have too long been ignored. See more Nov 2, 2016 Worst film of all time. Time period is not represented! Represents jews in a horrible light. Language used is inaccurate. How she got to Scotland is impossible. See more Oct 18, 2015 This movie was a huge disappointment. It builds the audience up for a romance that barely happens. Minnie Driver is lovely and enchanting in this film. I wish her role was more- just more. Her performance was great, but the relationship between her character and the Cavendish men left you wanting more. The movie could have been better.
