The intent of the production is clear, but the execution is hopelessly mangled, leaving a picture that commences with dignity and concludes as an absolute mess. Go to Full Review

Zoe K 09/17/2023 Romantic, suspenseful…love the Wilkie Collins vibes, but the romance bits are my favorite. See more Vicki M 07/26/2023 This movie had so much potential. But the film is like two different movies in one. I wish the whole movie was like the first 20 minutes and last 2 minutes and 30 seconds. And a few other scenes are ok. But that's it. The pace is excruciatingly slow. And the music that's supposed to set the tone in various scenes is so heavy handed. The director fumbled a film that could have been enjoyable storytelling if it had been done well. See more 01/05/2021 I truly enjoyed this movie. It held my attention and was never boring. Very suspenseful and entertaining. See more Frances H 06/11/2017 I do love Frances Hodgson Burnett, and they made this story into something more along the lines of Wilkie Collins than the author of The Little Princess, although both go in for melodrama. See more 05/10/2016 I loved the chemistry between Lydia Wilson and Linus Roache, it made me wish there had been more scenes for the characters, however Lydia Wilson was fairly successful carrying the plot in his character's absence. James D'Arcy is great as the shady, but charismatic cousin Alec Osborn and Hasina Haque brought a lot of depth to the character of Hester. It loses 1 and a half stars for not being enough of a romance nor enough of a "thriller"... See more 02/21/2015 Beautifully shot and period accurate, it's still not your typical victorian fair. Ms. Seton is a poor but well brought up lady who finds herself agreeing to a marriage of convenience after several financial disappointments. She finds herself falling in love with her new husband who is then hauled off to India for "honor and country". His strange and dangerous relation comes to look after her and her well-being - or has he? The Making of a Lady takes a dark turn and the suspense stretches into a well told story.
