If you are looking for something very different, then this is it. What a very very strange movie. It was unusual and entertaining. It is something I would maybe expect from Alfred Hitchcock. I think it deserves a much better overall rating than 5.7. The acting is well done. The setting is fine. The story is just weird....and I like that!

This movie is advertised as a "sharply funny comedy". However, I didn't find anything in the least bit funny about this movie. In fact, there was not one thing in the movie that even brought a smile to my face. This movie is more of a drama than anything else. As a drama, this movie is pretty good. But as a comedy it rates a 4 out of 10 which I found quite disappointing.

Tedious. At first I very much enjoyed the poetry and the language. However, for me, the film became just annoying near the end where Mrs. Todd starts singing. At this point I just wanted to skip to the end of the movie. Several times I found Dickinson to be so negative that it made me wonder if she was ever content with anything in her life.
