Although quite sure this was the third time we'd seen this film, neither of us remembered it very well. We had some sense of the mood, and the period, but could not remember the plot at all, much less that Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer also starred in this piece. Our Winona was nominated for an Oscar for her work in this critically-acclaimed film. The movie also received many other awards and nominations, including Oscar for Best Costume Design. It was a very good movie - a classic love triangle story in a beautiful setting, with a bit of comic relief.
To Pam's brief review I have only two additional comments. One is that the costumes impressed me very much, so I impressed myself by having noticed, along with the Academy!
Second is that although this is a love triangle, and one of many years duration, a key question remains: does Our Noni's character know that there is a love triangle? Things are handled with such Victorian understatement that this is not clear to me ... so I'm not impressive at all in reading those clues!
Final Verdict: Four Croquet Balls
