I was surprised on a micro and a macro level - gasp-inducing individual moments, but I have a warmth to the whole film that I wasn’t expecting. Big big drama, but subtle, complex characters, gorgeously rendered in a patient style. Stunning performances from the leads. These kinds of sensible English Tea films are often only pleasant, but this gripped me.
