A well-acted and heart breaking 19th-century drama that says a lot about the way women were viewed, mistreated, and controlled by men during its time period.

Had been wanting to see it for Holly Hunter's performance. There were some ok moments, but mainly it was a disappointment. I had been building it up in my mind for so long, I expected her performance to be miraculous, but somehow it fell short of what I perceived it could be.
