About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a passionate, heartbreaking artist story with intense performance and a haunting spiral of emotion; Not for you if you dislike long, dark tragedies like Van Gogh or Two English Girls.

Pros: intense central performance; lush period atmosphere; emotional romantic tragedy | Cons: some find it too long; disturbing descent |
