• Poster: B-

Review:

It's a beautiful poster, simple and elegant. The backdrop is a lovely set piece that accentuates the romanticism on display.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

As far as period romantic dramas go, this one looks like all the others. Nothing distinguishable in the trailer suggests nothing interesting in the film, which is a challenge when trying to get an audience.

Oscar Prospects:

It was not submitted for Oscar consideration, therefore it will likely be ignored.

Release Date:

• November 4, 2011
