I really enjoyed this gentle, funny, but also thoughtful road trip film. I loved how subtle it was and how familiar the characters felt. A perfect exploration of complex family dynamics, and what happens when life paths diverge and people feel left behind. I will definitely watch it again!

I really enjoyed this. It was fascinating hearing the back story to this remarkable investigation, and it makes me feel less despairing of the state of the world, to know that there are people like this out there fighting to tell the truth. The acting was fantastic.

After watching the trailer I decided it looked truly terrible and I wouldn’t watch it… I wish I had trusted my instincts! This is the worst adaptation of a Jane Austen novel I have ever seen. Everything that is beautiful and subtle about the book they ignored, and just made their version. It’s so heavily borrowed from Fleabag, that it’s embarrassing. Then they clearly just thought throw in a dose of Bridgerton and Bridget Jones diary and had a quick scan through a Wikipedia summary of the novel… It’s a book about what it meant to be a woman at that time - entirely defined by your marital status. To be basically middle aged and on the shelf (not young and one of the most beautiful women in the world!) and seeing the love of your life interested in other women while you are fading away. But then to find your voice again, and be seen, and finally get the man back who you have loved for so long. This is really one of the worst films I have ever seen.

Very poor. It felt like it was trying hard to be charming and Girls-esq, but felt very disjointed. The ‘3 months later’ scene was completely out of nowhere, and the receptionist love interest was unrealistic. The awesome actresses in this film deserved better...
