I'm going through a Timothy Dalton phase and frankly this movie fell flat.
It's plot sounded very interesting which is why I paid $3.99 to rent it. However, besides the random thoughts of the characters there is not enough information to illustrate for a movie what is really happening in the people's lives. Many of the circumstances and decisions were left up to the viewer's imagination. It was less better than a silent film.
The heroine's reasons for not getting with the hero 10 years before were utterly ridiculous. The fact that he still wanted her was like you always want what you can't have. After they had conjugal relations it is a wonder he didn't drop her.
The only good reality in this film is a fact she couldn't stop imagining him and the other woman together. That is the only real natural human response in this whole movie.
By the end of the film you could tell there was much more chemistry between him and the governess than him and the stiff heroine. The governess, at least, expressed deep love for him which is sacrificing your own happiness for the one you love. And he still seemed mightily attracted to her. He should have ran off with their governess.
The whole film was a major disappointment and I would like my $3.99 back!
