Rather unexpected...
Went to see this one with three friends, expecting something a bit on the twee / 'Heritage Film' side. Wrong. THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN was generally very watchable and blended the a number of story element well. The person who was bewildered about what sort of a film it was should have borne in mind that films often have elements of humour, drama, tragedy and romance, because life is not all lived on one level. It probably helped that I was not familiar with Cumberbatch's other work, so was able to see his role as the person he was playing, rather than 'Here's Benedict again!'
