Overview
A love story set in 1930s England that follows 17-year-old Cassandra Mortmain, and the fortunes of her eccentric family, struggling to survive in a decaying English castle. Based on Dodie Smith's 1948 novel with the same name.
This felt like a low-grade version of Little Women. Every single thing about the movie – script, acting, production, etc – felt like it was off. It also marks the first time that I don’t like Bill Nighy in a movie.
