These older English period pieces really are just vessels for like the best acting of all time. 3 separate occasions I was completely taken aback by the performances. 3 different performers.

not 100% accurate ofc but the creative liberties made sense in the context of the film. anne felt very real and human which sadly isnt very present in many versions of her.
