    An excellent period piece

    An excellent characterization of the things that can happen when one person or organization has the power to dictate the mores and lives of so many others. Despite the fact that my family name and that of the screenwriter are the same, I am in no way (as far as I know) related to her, hence: no nepotism. Having made that point, as an aspiring screenwriter myself, I can appreciate the very fine writing in this film. Well crafted...congratulations and good luck t
