It is definitely a new kind of rom-com. The film feels fresh and new, with unexpected plots and turns. The main actors are not conventional "eye-candies", but they do possess necessary beauty and necessary chemistry, which not always needs to be romantic.
The music is well timed and compliments the atmosphere, the sets and costumes are truly astonishing. This film should have been in cinemas, it should have shined on the big screens.
I loved the woman pro(an)tagonist - caring, strong, steadfast, seeing through the sleezy pipsqueak's (or pompous charlatan's) façade.
And the Queen. The Queen was always a delight on the screen. It was marvelous to watch her, to witness her seeing through all the depths and shallowness of the protagonist.
The ending was a well-deserved surprise.
He had it coming, and the women served their goals perfectly. It is a true (laugh out loud) modern comedy set in the past of a fantasy.
P. S. I gave it 9* instead of 10* because of the very last Opera scene, in which He seemed like a very unrealistic add-on and gross instead of seducing.
