Me neither. Well, the scenery was nice. But I didn't like the protag, who kept letting people down, and I watched it with my mum and she was all "Where did the heroine get the coupons for that frock?!" being of that generation herself. And there were umpteen other things I didn't like about it.

I want her suitcase, though. She got so many changes of clothes into that suitcase.

I thought the novel was pretty much garbage because it was super predictable and not particularly good at what it was doing. It was enough of a non-event that I can't remember much except there were some really interesting bits about POV camps and from notes I made, some really cringey bits about... Oscar Wilde? I'm a great defender of adaptations and could make a list of great adaptations of forgettable stories, but I can't say I'm utterly surprised if the film wasn't all that great either, all things considered.

I'm debating whether or not to watch the movie

Cons: it doesn't look very good
Pros: I like period movies; holy crap she's so pretty

She's done a lot of period stuff.

Watch Darkest Hour or Downton Abbey. She was also in the live-action Cinderella, a War & Peace mini-series and and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Now that I've actually looked up who it was, apparently she was the love interest in Baby Driver and she was also incredibly pretty in that

My feeling about Downton Abbey is that it would generally only be watching for her + Michelle Dockery. I can't imagine myself watching Darkest Hour or Pride & Prejudice & Zombies on principle, and War & Peace doesn't sound appealing either unfortunately

P&P&Z is amazing, hdu. And I say this as a diehard P&P fan.

Is it actually? It's not even that I think it's disrespectful or anything. I just sort of class it in with the whole Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter thing - it just seems silly and pointless, and not in a fun way. IDK

Well, I mean amazing as in I enjoy watching it, it's fun, everyone's pretty, etc. XD

Chiming in to say that I'm a P&P fan, and I enjoyed P&P&Z quite a bit, as the complete crack that it absolutely is.

Although personally, I feel like P&P&Z miiight be most enjoyable for people who liked the 2005 P&P movie (which I did), because a lot of the time, the P&P&Z movie feels more heavily based off of P&P 2005 than it does off of the actual novel. Then again, if you hated P&P 2005, I suppose you could also view P&P&Z as a total pisstake.

Also, holy hell, yes, Lily James is one of those actors who is so beautiful that it, like, forcibly makes me like her in everything.

Also, also - personally I liked The Guernsey Literary yada yada yada. It wasn't phenomenal, and there wasn't much in the way of surprises with the plot, but it seemed heartfelt and not too cloying.

War and Peace is worth a look, it was really good.

This is on my watchlist but my god did that author try hard to come up with the cuuutest little title ever.

I enjoyed it but it definitely had Issues.

The book is very cute in a "BBC miniseries" kind of way. But the movie is garbage, they take out all of Juliet's female friendships and just focus on the romance.

I liked the book but I'm halfway through the movie and I'm bored!
