This movie is horribly terribly boringgggg... Reading other glowing reviews for this film is genuinely shocking. A majority of the movie I'd spent with the characters simply gazing out a window. It is about 4th grade level "historically accurate" and doesn't give any character development whatsoever. Background players have more lines than Marie herself, unless you count the voice over while she reads letters from her mother.
I am a huge fan of period pieces, and while this doesn't seem classified as a comedy I find it hard to accept it as a drama either.
