To Walk Invisible: The Brontë Sisters

I must admit I was dubious at yet another film of the lives of the Brontes.I needn't have been,this was an excellent production. Great art/location and costume work. The acting was slow,subtle and not over the top or "chocolate boxy" (as is with some Bronte biogs) The actors were excellently and evenly cast.Too often the sisters are too pretty and therefore lose authenticity. The sisters were quite plain,but feisty,and their characters reacted well against each other. It showed us (more than is normal) the complexities of mid Victorian life and morals. The two hours passed very quickly.

WHY? After the on screen credits,telling us how and when the sisters died.We went into the Parsonage front garden,and up the side path into the modern gift shop of the Parsonage Museum, and the camera panned around it for 5 minutes(showing you all the stock),quite why this was I cannot see.It succeeded in killing the atmosphere that had been achieved in the preceding 2 hours.
