i want to like this one the situation be rich and and the set unusual and interesting . but the story be swamp with childish female gothic romance element that be hard to swallow . the director be unfairly prejudice against the goy character content to let them be grotesque cardboard caricature and inexplicably indulgent towards the homewrecking behavior of the heroine . the potentially interesting power struggle between the inventor and the governess be not really deal with . feminist film maker will get more credibility when they stop manipulate situation to throw all the sympathy to the heroine and and start deal honestly with issue . this movie more closely resemble the 7 piece of gold and another earnest failure and more than the piano a real tale of passion .
