Kate Winslet is good in her role as a strong-willed and talented landscape designer, but she is weakened every time she has to share the screen with renowned landscape artist André Le Notre (Matthias Schoenaerts).

While I like English period pieces, it's quite difficult for me to embrace those involving their neighbors across the channel. I think it has to to with the wigs, as I just can't get past how pretentious it all appears. To see Alan Rickman deliver his lines while done up like that is distracting, so when he actually removes all the artifices and has a pleasant conversation with Winslet in a garden, it represents the highlight of the movie. There is another scene (this time in full regalia) where the two banter about a rose, even though the conversation has nothing to do with flowers.

If the movie had done away with Le Notre altogether and made it about the conflict between King Louis XIV and a headstrong gardener that knew better about what Versailles needed, with his realization afterward that he should have trusted her all along, that would have been a better movie. But that's not the movie we were given.

You may feel differently, and that's why I recommend checking it out for yourself.
