- Quotes
George Emerson: He's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.

I think the director of the movie did a brilliant job. James Ivory quite literally brought the Historical period like Edwardian-Era(just found out victorian era came before Edwardian-era) to us although both era had the same old royalty vibe, which feels so elegant, prosperous and rich in it's touch. The choosen Background masterfully reciprocate the respected time of era and their people.
Acting is clean and precise. Actors doesn't over or underperform instead they keep it just right enough to tell the beautiful romantic drama that arises between the parties. There are so many actors and each of them keeps the quality of their character alive making the conflict between them intense and interesting.
Cinematography and music is amazing. It is something to appreciate every once in a while. It makes the scenes more fun to watch and giving them a sense of sweetness and humor, which is comforting to watch.
8/10, actually I would give it 8.5.
And Thank you for reading this :)
