About
If you want a moody, gothic morality tale with decadent thrills and a cursed-secret hook, this may work for you; Not for you if you need subtle storytelling, faithful literary adaptations, or dislike explicit sex and violence.
Pros: gothic, dark atmosphere; strong supporting performances; striking period look | Cons: slow, plodding pace; heavy on sex, blood; shallow, messy adaptation
