Should you watch this film? I would say yes. If you saw Big Eyes, it's the same story with a few sexual angles. Dominic West does a perfect Kenneth Branagh Poirot, I consider it reasonably well put together, Kiera Knightly does exactly what she does in every film set 100 years or more ago, and one might almost get some insight into why people would behave the way they do in such situations. I'm not sure it is an empowering film, as the females and underlings seem to get a pretty poor deal, without any satisfying righteous vengeance but... I drivel on. You will know after 30 minutes if you will like it, but I think you have to give it more than 15 for it to get into it's swing. If you want a really fascinating exploration of sexuality and can only afford one film this month, never mind this or The Favourite (both good), watch Welcome To Marwen.
