Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
... View MoreWhen a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

... View MoreI read the book this was based on years ago so perhaps my fondness for it and the details have dimmed. I watched it as soon as it hit Netflix and loved it so much, I watched it again the next day. It certainly would be better served as a mini series for character development and to involve more of the original plot which was what made the book so entrancing. I thought Lily James did a fine job considering how they wrote her storyline and considering who could've played the part (Kate Winslet, Rosamund Pike). Juliet was not a strong willed female lead like Jessica Brown Finlay's Elizabeth - who was not on the screen enough in my opinion. But the chemistry between Juliet and Dawsey is what kept me enthralled. The glances and longing looks and the moments (in the bar, his bedroom when Juliet finds the book she gave Dawsey, and right before her fiance Mark shows) are so charged with energy I found myself rooting for them and wanting to rewatch those scenes over and over. Michiel Husman brings an intoxicating presence to the screen in everything he does and I could not watch anyone else when he was on. Matthew Goode's Sidney is hilarious and deserved more time and I really loved the rest of the cast which was SO well placed in their roles. It's a bit predictable towards the end but it's the ending I was hoping for so I was pleased. If they kept the same cast and expanded it to a mini series, I'd love it even more.
... View MoreI had seen the trailer a few months ago, and was so excited for this movie, but forgot about it until now. Oh my goodness, what a beautiful film, and with some of the Downton cast. Yes, please! A must see.
... View MoreThere's a lot to say about this movie and at the same time there's nothing enough good to explain how good it is. One of the surprises of the year for me. It has everything that a Drama-Romance movie should have, starting with a beautiful, and at the same time rough story to tell. Beautiful acting, with a lot of fantastic interpretations by all of the ones who are part of the cast. Give it a shot, i'm sure it will not let you down.
... View MoreI loved the story, the characters, the lanscapes, contumes, the casting, all of it!! It makes you have different feelings through the story. You laugh, you cry.It's been a while since I saw a movie I loved as much as this one.
