With a box office flop and mixed reviews, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for people who'll be humming afterwards and people who love relationship stories. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside The Age of Innocence or Brooklyn. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1934: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A maid has romances with a two-timer, a boozing millionaire and the master of the house.
