User Reviews

Can I get back the last 110 minutes of my life?

I typically like period pieces which was why I went in hopeful. Good lord, this was just a incredibly terrible movie. I stuck with it to the end thinking (hoping) at some point some resemblance of a halfway decent story-line would surface. However, I feel as though the main character was just very difficult to sympathize with. I was just merely viewing a childish and whiney woman feeling sorry for herself, sleeping around and spending money. It was just...awful. I was not familiar with this being a film adaption of a book. Perhaps someone who actually read the book would have a better background as to the point of this movie but I failed to see it. If you read the book and get it maybe you will like it- the attire was fun to look at- that was the only remotely interesting thing about the movie.
