This movie was beautiful! I saw it for the second time and had a newfound appreciation for this romantic, yet not sappy movie about Wallis Simpson and Prince Edward. There are two stories but they seem to mirror or parallel each other. We are reminded that what we often associate with “love” has many layers and that is what is real. Wallis is depicted as vivacious, playful and yet dignified and it’s easy to see why she was so loved! You will appreciate the depth of these two women and the somewhat magical bond that they “share”.

I fully enjoyed this series and it exceeded my expectations. It was fascinating to see how some of Hollywood’s leading men were humanized, brought to life outside of the “image” Hollywood has portrays them. F.F. Coppola had a clear vision of the actors he knew would bring the characters to life. This series shows how much work goes into creating a work of art on the screen!

This movie had me on the edge of my seat. The characters are completely realistic. The intensity of this film may put you through a wide range of emotions - which is exactly what a good film should do. To top it off, the final scene was highly unexpected.
