By the time I was proceeding this film, I had kept my mouth spreading from ear to ear for entire 100 minutes, and my belly hurt too. It is that cathartically funny.
It's a period comedy drama set in 1920s England, right after the World War one.
Olivia Colman's character is a middle aged self-hating intellectual spinster, well-educated and presumably in late Victoria period of England.
Jessie Buckley's character is an Irish young single mother.
Both characters loved profanity as somehow a weapon or coping mechanism, and without dumping spoiler alert, i will just say the most significant difference in between the two women characters who weaponised vulgarity by using certain language, is that one is sticking that on the surface, the other is painfully penning that underneath. After saw or watched the film, you will find out which one is what.
The film was shot at west Sussex England, on set the house built from Victorian era brick horse stable barn alteration looked mesmerising to me.
Most of the other cast crew besides the two I mentioned earlier , all have very strong background of stage play portfolio, if you are a frequent viewer of English stage plays as I am, you would enjoy it as a feast, as they are all here for the production. Throw a name or two some people may not be very familiar with as I am, I loved Anjana Vasan since watched her version of Hermia in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Hugh Skinner just had been all over the place in royal Shakespeare company's plays.
I won't be surprised one day this film becomes a source of a stage play adapted by it. It is delightfully original indeed.
7.9/10.
