About

You’ll likely enjoy Belle Epoque if you want a lively period romance with teasing, flirtatious tension and a big sense of playfulness; Not for you if you dislike stories where one person must choose among multiple romantic interests, or if you prefer more straightforward romance like The Hairdresser's Husband or Saving Face.

Pros: light, witty romance; strong performances; period charm | Cons: uneven humor; awkward premise; heavy sexual tone
