Totally agree, I was expecting another straight forward period piece since I went in blind about anything more than the basic premise, but this movie was smart, funny, stylish, and somewhat flippant with the genres tropes.
The score added to the storytelling tremendously and the cinematography was creative for this genre. Emma Mackey was fantastic, a real highlight in recent performances.
On a funny note, the audience was 100% over sixty besides me (30’s) and I don’t think any of them enjoyed this film as much as I did. An older couple even left after the mast scene lol
