JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

GQsm It's pretty much from the start even though there is very little to warrant it but you basically end up with 1h 35min of horror film music. It gets very tiring very quickly. If you thought this was going to be the usual entertaining period drama the UK puts out regularly think again. I was forced to watch it but if you manage to make half way through by choice expect to start shouting in irritation at the far fetched ridiculousness more and more as the movie continues. You hope it will get better as the film goes on but it gets worse. Add in a load of randomly unexplained or uncompleted plot points for the final nail. Don't waste your time in my opinion.

atlasmb Before watching this film, I knew nothing of the story. It proved to be about Emily Fox Seton (Lydia Wilson), a young English woman who married for financial security. As it progressed, it became a suspense story, with Lydia Wilson being the best part of the production.The film includes beautiful scenery and settings. The music adds much to the film's mood. And the costuming is absolutely wonderful.The narrative might have enchanted Alfred Hitchcock, with its foreboding images and a sense of claustrophobia that surrounds Emily as her circumstances change and she begins to feel helpless within her situation.If you like beautifully filmed period pieces, I recommend this film to you.

wendyco714 I literally have never written a review but this is an awful movie. Well not all of it, but the part that is...it's just bad.It started out quite nice, fell in love with the main character, until the plot twist began and they made her into one of the most stupid characters I've ever seen. It's really a shame. Every decision she makes is more stupid than the next. And how they story is made into a climax and the resolution events, they are all just horrid. I'm an avid movie watcher, in particular, movies of this style. This is by far the worst. It's a shame. It really is. I am not sure if the novel makes the main character appear as "delusionally" dumb as the movie did, but I am not a fan. That said....I was able to make it through the movie...but it did seriously make me cringe at how bad it was. The ending is not too bad...I guess -_- I didn't understand why it has 4.5/5 stars on netflix..it barely deserves a 3/5.Ps. cannot shout in your review? umm...OK?

bsullivan24-1 I looked forward to seeing this film. Frances Hodgson Burnett's double novel, the Making of a Marchioness and Emily Fox Seton, is a fine minor Victorian work with excellently drawn characterizations and a good plot. The romance develops in a true-to-life fashion, and the author is careful in recognizing the contrast between the action and the expectations of convention at the time. This film production is a burlesque of what it ought to have been. Important characters have been deleted; others changed beyond recognition. The jarring anachronisms could easily have been avoided by following the book as written. The plot elements are impossible in too many ways to mention. The characters' behavior makes no sense. This is another work entirely, bearing no slight resemblance to the Burnett work, and vastly inferior. Even the characters' names are mangled.Why not make a film of the work after which it is titled? What a waste!
