A female landscape gardener (Kate Winslet) is awarded the esteemed assignment to construct the grand gardens at Versaillers, a gilt-edged position which thrusts her into the very centre of the court of King Louis XIV (Rickman).
The film has a great cast on board; Kate Winslet has proved countless times just how fantastic she is, Peaky Blinders star Helen McRory is severely underrated (And sometimes overshadowed by her also-underrated husband Damian Lewis) and Matthias Schoenaerts is a rising star who turned in an amazing villainous performance in the hugely disappointing The Drop. So whilst the role is very different for him, it means we can hopefully rely on something great. It’s a shame it has such a great cast, because the film looks so damn boring. Even the trailer makes you want to take a nap. Hopefully, it’s not quite as dull as it looks, but let’s not get our hopes up.
