Alien at the Movies

In quiet rural Victorian England, a strong-willed & independent Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) focuses more on overcoming being a woman in a man's world than considering the marriage proposals from her three suitors, a shepherd, a wealthy middle-aged bachelor, and a soldier. Although the the storyline is slow-moving, fine acting, costumes, beautiful backdrops, and dramatic twists keeps it engaging. If you are a romantic who likes period pieces, you may enjoy this wonderful film where a woman struggles between her mind & heart and the men are mesmerized by her beauty & spirit.

Alien gives it 3 "mistress of the house" stars out of 4.
