137 minute running time which means FORTY minutes too long, can you imagine sitting through all of this? It was like a full-employment act movie for old fogey British actors… I was very pleased to see Emily Watson though, who astonished me in Breaking the Waves (a great movie), and there was Kelly Macdonald, who is a brilliant actress … I can’t stand these Upstairs Downstairs period dramas… but John Farr liked it (predictably).
