Emma Thompson is simply too brilliant. It's indeed a role customized for her. Plot is predictable and nothing new about it; nevertheless it's wonderful to see stories of powerful and charming women with flawed personality make mistakes but in the end are still loved by so many. That all the supporting characters are pleasant to see is a plus.
Though nothing can bring back the hour, Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find, Strength in what remains behind, ——Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by William Wordsworth
