Twitter Capsule: The movie couldn't be clearer about wanting to be a simple, wisteria-scented respite. And so it is. Nothing more.

VOR: ②  Its success—possibly even its existence—testify to the particular market that Merchant Ivory coaxed back to the movies in the early 90s. Lighter than their work, though.
