...written by Jeremy Brock and directed by John Madden, this British film has the regal, clubby aura of Masterpiece Theatre (which co-produced Mrs. Brown).

But it does not help that Clark spends a lot of time airing these very complaints. She may be right, but she is not telling us something we did not already know...
