"Katherine"

A good movie

“The main reason I wanted to watch this flick was because it was, at some point, included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list. It has been removed since then but since it has a decent reputation, I thought I might still check it out. To be honest, the whole tale of a young girl forced to marry a much older rich guy in the 19th century was hardly original (For example, I saw ‘Madame Bovary’ starring Mia Wasikowska only a few months ago). This kind of tale is basically all about loneliness and boredom and the mood was indeed pretty dreary but, at least, the damned thing looked really beautiful to look at. However, the fact that the main character chose a lover who seemed to be only slightly less tedious than her husband didn’t really help to root for her (at least,” read more

"23.5. Konfilktit, niin sosiaaliset kuin henkilökohtaisetkin, ratkaistaan ponnettomasti ja kaikin puolin liian helposti. Koko kerrontatapa on niin kylmä, ettei kukaan hahmoista tunnu yhtään miltään. "

"This movie tells the story of a young woman who is sold into a loveless marriage with an older wealthy gentleman. She has a passionate affair with a servant of the house.

"3/9/17 Superb low budget British movie set in the 19th century and centres on a young girl forced into a marriage and enslaved by a loveless husband, who finds an inner strength when she starts having an affair with a local workman. Florence Pugh is magnificent in the central role in a film that relies more on silence to tell its tale than dialogue. Powerful and provocative."
