Friday Movie Night In - Lady Macbeth

It is a cold and wet night tonight, so time for a simple dinner and to watch a quick movie before heading to bed.  This is a film festival movie, that I didn't manage to see, so was glad to see it pop up as a 99c special movie. 

I am a fan of the period drama, but I guess we have a tainted  view of the nicer side of the time period enjoying  the crinoline skirts, candles, carriages and parties that are often shown in historical movies.  This movie is a bit more of the grim reality of what it is like to be married to a man twice your age,who has little love for you, trapped in a grand house in the rural English countryside and  to be told you are unable to leave , with no friends except the servants.   Katherine then has little choice but to befriend a maid as her only friend and finds love with one of the grooms, until she is found out by her stern father in law.  3/5
