Judi Dench is excellent but the movie is only so-so. Cinemaphotography outdoors is striking.
Ali Fazal shows potential but really doesn't have a 'showcase' moment

Very enjoyable film with a lot of amusing moments and also great acting pieces from Judi Dench (as always). A light watch for any type of day really. Recommendable.

A weak narrative compensated by Judi Dench's talent. Regardless of whether if the story it's telling is historically true, in the end the film works enough to make an impression but very little to be a resonant.
