A look at the scandalous love triangle between Victorian art critic John Ruskin (Greg Wise), his teenage bride Euphemia "Effie" Gray (Dakota Fanning), and Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais (Tom Sturridge). When Effie Gray becomes the wife of distinguished writer John Ruskin, it soon becomes apparent that Ruskin regards her as a muse rather than a wife, and the stifling atmosphere of their home soon takes a toll on Effie's health.

I like that Emma Thompson is trying her hand at screenwriting, and she's quite successful with it. She has now returned to her favorite British authors and has directed a historical costume romantic drama, which, however, completely bored me after half an hour. Well, maybe it has happened before. It's as if the film lacks real power, despite having such interesting actors and acting legends.
