    • Trivia
      It was sold to Sky Cinema after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed its cinema release twice: from May 2020 to September 2020 and then to January 2021. Both Netflix and Amazon passed on buying the project; IFC Films distributed it in the United States.
    • Goofs
      Early on, Condomine puts a record on an acoustic gramophone and puts the needle down to the left of the spindle, where it would dig into the record if it would play at all. (The image has not been reversed because the record is still turning clockwise.)

    Not great, but still worth watching
    I have never seen the original play or movie, so I'm not making a comparison. I think the main problem of this movie is that it lacks in rhythm. It felt too long despite being only an hour and a half. However, I still had a good time watching it. There are some true laugh-out-loud moments and everyone gives a good comedic performance. Also, the costumes and sets are gorgeous. Apparently, there have been a lot of changes from the original story, but I thought this story was good. My rhythm issue came more from some of the dialogue and the editing, I think. You won't be wasting your time watching it, but don't expect a masterpiece.
