Effie Gray (2014)
Dull as ditchwater
19 April 2020
As dull as ditchwater and just as affecting. Almost completely pointless, and with some bizarre casting - the man they have playing Millais looks more like Rossetti! Nothing about the Pre-Raphaelites, and Ruskin is portrayed as a stuck-up idiot, which makes it painful to watch. Effie Gray herself is portrayed as a woman with no agency of any kind, and there's none of the scandal she created shown. No entertainment value whatsoever. Avoid.
