Mothering Sunday is a fine and sensitive movie, that moves on the fine lines between deep, transcendent and boring.
A lot of opposing opinions has been aired about this film, and I believe it all comes down to once own ability to relate to the topics: artistic birth, loss, war and neglected youth which are all topics in this movie.
I personally found the strong symbolism and delicate details fantastic and original. My favourite part is when Jane walks naked through Paul's house, and studies his home as one of 2000's most descriptive metaphor for the vulnerability in loving someone, and letting someone love you.
I can see how the film at times bends towards the more drawn out, and "quiet without purpose" feel, however it is a film with substance when payed attention to, and it holds a originality and a new-thinking in terms of time and structure(done well) in film. It is at times given even more life by Olivia Coleman and Colin firths fantastic performances(which has not been mentioned enough).
Overall a brilliant film, for those for whom it may concern 🍁
