horizontal line

[Opens Apr. 8 in theaters.] Striking cinematography, sets, and period costumes dominate Eva Husson's somber, well-acted, languid-paced, risqué, multilayered, 110-minute film based on Graham Swift's bestselling 2016 novel in which a free-spirited, orphaned English maid (Odessa Young), who works in the manor home of a grieving British couple (Colin Firth and Olivia Colman) after losing two sons during WWI, is having a secret, long-term affair with a neighboring aristocratic gentleman (Josh O'Connor) in 1924 who is engaged however to his dead brother's fiancée (Emma D'Arcy), and then finds herself years later a successful writer (Glenda Jackson) married to a Black philosopher (Sope Dirisu) she met while working in a bookstore and reminiscing and writing about those trysts she had in the 1920s.
