The way it started out I thought it was a comedy but most of the lightness disappears shortly after only to reappear in flashes during the drama some of which is quite heavy. Not great but watchable.
When arriving in the big smoke Thomasin McKenzie looks suitably in awe and lost. She then combines well with Anya Taylor–Joy in negotiating everything the writers throw at them, Terence Stamp included. The soundtrack is worthy of the period.
