I was uncomfortable during most of this movie, first because the main character is so cheery-weird that it is off putting. Then, the escalation of the oddness of the driving instructor combined with the cheery-weirdness of the main character was very jarring. I'm sure that was all the point, and I was engrossed the whole time, but I felt exhausted by the time the movie was over.
Then, I got to feel uncomfortable all over again because my domestic violence cousnselor boyfriend disagreed quite emphatically with the main character's choice. Geez.

The actress was in the latest BBC version of Auten's Persuasion. I kind of see her as that character now. I was very surprised to see her in modern dress!
