This movie is filmed so beautifully. The costumes, the mood, its lovely.
But this movie is a bore. And possibly the most cringe-worthy part of it is Julia Roberts' absolutely hideous impression of a British accent. WHY WHY WHY the director didn't stop the bleeding is beyond me. Every time she opens her mouth you're transported right back to modern times. It completely takes you out the film and the actress out of the character.
Really Hollywood, we will suspend disbelief. If the actor can't pull it off DON'T do it. I love Julia Roberts as much as everyone else but this isn't where her acting strengths lie.
