This is the slowest, most depressing period picture I have ever seen! I was so hoping that Scarlett would play someone sweet and fun, a bouncy girl who's an underdog with a heart of gold. Someone like Kit Tyler in THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND.
But no! This girl is gloomy all the time, even when people aren't picking on her. The setting is Holland, in the 1600s, and she's living in the home of a famous painter. And everyone is mean to her. All the time!
And the painter is a total wimp.
Is there a point to this movie? I really hated it. It made me sad, and at the same time it was boring. Really, really boring!
