Why oh why was Toni Colette cast in this role?!!!!!!
Every time she is cast an "upper crust" character, it is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I find her and "overactor" - overly earnest and contrived. And let's be clear - in a role wherein she is meant to be refined and cultured - she is bloody awful!!!!! Note to casting - what about Cate Blanchette, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, and a hundred others? Did Toni (note - any name ending in and "i" indicates a certain lack of refinement) Colette have dirt on or is family to someone who was casting this?
I loved the actress playing the maid and the stepson is irresistible. The cinematography is absolutely luscious. However - to be clear -the only reason I know this is because I was stuck on a plane with the internet down and this was one of the few items I'd downloaded so I was stuck with it.
