About halfway through this, I turned to my viewing companion (who knew the story) and said, “what, does he have some kind of deranged brother locked up in the closet?”. I wasn’t too far off. I did enjoy the mood, the acting, and most of the plot twists… but the main one was one of these out-of-nowhere random “huh?” moments that seems more like a convenient way to wrap things up, rather than telling us any more about the characters and their relationships.. Like a cheap trick or something. Anyway, the movie is worth a view if you’re into this genre (that being romance-dramas about Victorian-era Britain).
