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 also tries her hand at writing scripts, and she does it quite well, achieving success with audiences. She has now returned to her favorite British authors and launched a historical costume romantic drama, which, however, completely ceased to entertain me after half an hour. Well, yeah, maybe that also happened before. It's as if the film doesn't have any real power, and yet it has such interesting actors, even acting legends.
