Dreary early 20th Century period drama that more than outstays its welcome at the half hour mark.
Lily (Gillian Anderson) is on the lookout for a husband - one that can help her out with her financial problems and steer her back into civilised society. She is taken advantage of by various suitors, notably a slimy American played with relish by Dan Ackroyd.
That is pretty much as far as I got with this tepid tale before I walked out on it.
I pity the people that had to remain for its entire 140 minute running length.
Does anyone have a job in these sorts of movies? All the woman are either automatically rich or live on allowances handed out by rich rellies.
We have a world where every conversation is of Oscar Wilde proportions, every stolen kiss an orgasmic marathon, and nobody walks faster than 2 metres per hour.
A bit more incidental music might have lightened up the proceedings somewhat.
Anderson however is quite good - any thoughts of her alter ego on the XFiles are quickly forgotten as you are immersed in her part.
Boring, slow and directionless.
1 out of 10.
