Reviews for The Baroness and the Pig
How did writer/director Michael Mackenzie manage to mix all the ingredients for an absorbing historic drama -- an A-list cast, lavish set and costume design, a score by Philip Glass and a gorgeous chateau setting -- into a B-grade gothic melodrama?
Amateurish details tend to disappear in the face of the superb performances from Clarkson and Feore.
The falseness at the film's core comes from the uncritical assumption that the present is wiser than the past.
Michael Mackenzie who directed and wrote the film based on his own play has a real feel for melodrama but not subtlety.
