It's ironic that this heartbreakingly, beautiful film about a young, Victorian-era spinster is also so passionate. This film moved me tremendously and made me cry. Jennifer-Jason Leigh, who is not one of my favorite actresses, does an absolutely incredible job of creating this character. The nuances in the four leading roles are portrayed with such finesse, that it is impossible to say definitively exactly what their motives are. I actually felt as if I were living in upper-class society in the 1870's so well is that time depicted.
I highly recommend this film!
