A drama/comedy that is just divine as every scene seems just perfect, from the sumptuous costumes and stately palaces, to the powdered wigs it is the women that just shine in their roles. The pompous rather stupid Queen Anne played by Olivia Coleman, the conniving but clever Lady Sarah is played to perfection by Rachel Weisz, and the truly stunning Emma Stone playing the young Abigail. All are wonderful and I love all the men that are eye candy in the movie, playing their own games in their magnificent greatcoats and leggings. How I wish that was still the fashion!!
Part of the delight of this movie is that it is truly an adult movie with adult themes. Not one for the Disney crowd at all. It was nice to venture into a grown up cinema with no chippie packets, or cell phones on, just adults with glasses of wine. 5/5

I've not heard the term 'corset drama', but I know what you mean. I'm glad to read that you liked it. The eighteenth century, especially the first half, is a favourite study of mine.
