michael t A well- made film based on a true story. Tragic love triangle in which the main characters make poor choices for themselves and the ones they love. The acting and direction are competent and the scenery spectacular. Lots of scenes of the surf coming in as they are riding horses on the beach. The lead actress is quite attractive, if somewhat enervated. She draws her energy from the men she attracts, to no good effect for herself or them. It would be less palatable if it weren't based on a true story. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed the film -- thought the two male leads were great and the story tragic, and all too real. How many times have two men fought for the same woman, with the charismatic/flighty one initially winning her and the safe chappy waiting in the wings? I was a little disappointed with Emily Browning's performance/character -- although pretty, 'Florence' lacked substance and personality.

The biggest problem is the pacing in the first act is a bit slow. The stories been done before but the acting is great with good cinematography. If you enjoy period Pieces it’s a decent one to watch though there is probably nothing here you haven’t seen before.

If you don't know about social mores in that period, though, you probably wouldn't understand why they just didn't get the marriage annulled or get a divorce, but at that time, all three of them would have been ostracized completely and their lives totally ruined. It just wasn't done. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/19 Full Review Audience Member It would be an unsatisfying film, if it weren't based on a true story. The tragedy is so unbearable, you don't want to accept it as well-structured story. But it is true, and that redeems it. The performances, particularly by Browning and Stevens, are indelible.
