Excellent! - Mr. Malcom's List review by LA
A nice twist on the regency Rom Com, more like Vanity Fair than Jane Austen with a satirical look at the marriage market and a lively cast of not always lovable characters. Sharp and funny and eminently watchable.

Amusing Period Drama - Mr. Malcom's List review by GI
An amusing Regency romp with just the right amount of comedy that does occasionally threaten to drop into farce. It entertains and will appeal to fans of the TV series Bridgerton especially in its use of the 'alt-history' idea of casting without worrying about the actor's ethnicity. Mr Malcolm (Sope Dirisu) is the most eligible bachelor in town, handsome and rich. He invites Julia (Zawe Ashton) to the opera which she is hopeful will lead to a formal proposal but when she discovers she apparently doesn't match up to his list of character traits that he requires for a bride she feels deeply wounded. So she hatches a plan for revenge that involves her more socially low friend, Selina (Freida Pinto). This involves Selina matching Mr Malcolm's list to the point he proposes and then publicly rejecting him. You can probably guess which way all this goes. There's enough Austenesque features here to appeal to fans of period drama and it's all played with just the right amount of irony whilst being thoroughly preposterous at the same time. Theo James costars as a handsome soldier (there's always one of them in these films!) who becomes embroiled in the shenanigans. It's an ok film that is very watchable.
