A good but not great period piece.

A fairly standard period piece, which main things are about oppression of women. There is nothing really special about the film but it is certainly fine. The dialogue is not a stale like many period pieces. The performances are good especially Ralph Fiennes. My problems really are that there is just nothing extremely intriguing it just is slightly interesting. So I recommend it to those who like period pieces and that all really matters.
Good: Good performances and well shot. Period well realized.
Cons: Nothing special, and standard period piece themes.
