An easy thing to dislike, I suppose, and even easier to find it absolutely fascinating.
In all, Jane Campion has pulled off a neat trick here -- she's made a film that makes Henry James' work seem positively giddy.
A handsome production, but the ass, she doth ache.

So bold and well-orchestrated that you sometimes want to cheer the vividness of a single shot, the humor of a fleeting detail.
Fantastic!
