The copy line "first love burns brightest" sounds like it's aimed at younger women but the film, a rigorous visitation and recreation of early 19th Century England, is made to order for 30-plus women, older couples and X-factor types. I'm just imagining the reactions of the most notoriously vapid demographic in the history of civilization to Jane Campion Barry Lyndon-ish capturings through Greig Fraser's Vermeer-like photography.

Wells: You are misspelling Greig Fraser (the DP). Also, I'd never compare this movie to "Barry Lyndon." It has a lot more empathy for its characters than Kubrick did.

What I don't get is your continual use of the word "immaculate" describing this movie. Surely you can think of a different word once in a while?
