There seems to be a lot missing in this shortened telling of the story within a story for it to be more than moderately effective.

A polished but superficial period drama that fails to illuminate what could have been an involving story.

This isn't a perfect movie, but it's a treasure. Michael Gambon and Jodhi May are riveting.

Uses a little dramatic license to make it compatible for the big screen, but the story of writing to avoid ruin is very well structured and has a good flow to it.

The result is an appalingly bad mishmash of half-finished storylines and odd non-sequiturs.
