If you loved Burton and Taylor, try Effie Gray
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Richard Laxton, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Burton and Taylor, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Effie Gray is
Downton Abbey without the inheritance. Effie Gray marries the celebrated art critic John Ruskin, only to find herself trapped in a passionless marriage. Dakota Fanning embodies the repression of Victorian ideals.
