Good effort
Not the best film in the world but a good effort by upcoming director Taylor-Stanley. I’m giving it seven because it wasn’t dreadful and because the film score was fantastic.Some of the acting is stronger in some places; some is weaker – I wasn’t overwhelmed by the performance of the leading role of Diana, but supporting roles were good: Andy Lincoln did a great piece as Lovell, and Terence Stamp was wonderful as Baker. There were one or two small anachronisms, but mostly what you’d consider “anorak” things; for instance there is one point in the office of a theatrical agent where he fakes a telephone call, and the wire connecting the hand-held part of the Telephone is curly whereas in the 30s it should have been straight. There was also the use of the phrase ‘Jesus H Christ’ which was an anachronism, but generally a good film. The film score was wonderful, Mr Lynn is a complete unknown but it appears that the risk Taylor-Stanley took by hiring him was worth it.
As mentioned above, as a combination of the film’s strong and weak points, I give it 7 out of 10.
Big nothing
Brits are usually known for authentic period pieces. But apparently nobody is perfect. This silly little movie doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. We are supposed to believe that the young hopeful actress has the allure and talent, which she sadly does not possess. We are asked to buy the romantic package , which is as romantic as a garbage disposal. And to add insult to injury, this is one of the rare British movies with poor acting. Nobody stands out, not even the tragically miscast stars Huston, Stamp and Bacall. This fluffy powder puff of a movie is an utter waste of time.Its not funny or amusing or touching. It is big nothing.
