Based on a true story that was the talk of
England in the 1920’s. In 1913,
Edith was a young woman living with her family. She lived in a fading middle class neighborhood in London
with her mother, father and her shy younger sister. She didn’t want to live this way all her life so she
accepted a marriage proposal from Percy Thompson. He was a little bit better off than Edith but not a very
interesting or exciting partner.
After several years Edith began to grow restless and she met Freddy
Bywaters again after not seeing him for several years. He was a former boyfriend and the
opposite of Percy.
I didn’t know if I was going to be able to
keep watching this in the beginning, the film was laying the groundwork but was
not interesting until later on.
The ending was a surprise to me.
