Plot
A poor Edwardian girl with a flamboyant imagination becomes a best-selling novelist and lives out her fantasies.
Sinekatalog’s take
François Ozon's English-language period piece, with Romola Garai, is lush, artificial and deliberately over the top.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
