Viewing Notes
Given the talent and the subject matter, this felt rather shallow and slight, but still glad I got to see it in a theater. I really loved Olivia Colman’s performance though. Worth seeing for that alone.
Having been to a number of theaters in England last year, the Empire theater in the film felt immediately identifiable as an English theater for me.
