Directors should know their period a little better than this. Until about 1980 one of the first things teachers taught their little students was the correct way to hold a pencil, and it was never clutched in the fist sticking straight up. A poor girl's laundry was washed by hand by her mother, who knew just how many nightgowns her daughters had (one couldn't have been torn apart for binding rags without notice.) The beauty standards in 1914 required small bones and full curves, a broad shouldered, flat chested young woman would not be considered the village beauty. All the village men drank whiskey and rarely bathed, thus they all would smell like whiskey.
Dreary film with a silly ending.

Cinderella did all the hard dirty work like sweeping out the fireplace (hence her name) while her trashy step-sisters put on their heavy make-up and sexiest push-up corsets and tried to trade their bodies to entice the prince.
Sex work is both the easiest and lowest way to make a living. In America there has never been an employment problem for women, Walmart is always hiring, but you'd have to get out of bed in the morning and put in eight hour days.
Film writers could find some great stories in those women who struggle on farms and in factories and manage to save their bodies for the people they love.
But no. They'd rather write a darker version of "Pretty Woman," and collect an Oscar. For it. Selling out is what they know best.

This was a nice little fantasy about meeting just the right person for you while all alone in a beautiful, warm isolated cabin.
It's winter in New Hampshire so the lake is frozen and the summer people are all away so hiking and playing music is about all they have to do.
They use a Robert Frost poem to begin communicating and then use word play throughout their relationship and it's often very clever, sometimes sad, and other times amusing.
There is another movie around with a very similar premise.
The only trouble with really slow, quiet movies is that little quirky things can become noticable and very distracting. Eileen's hair fell over her eyes and had to be either pushed away with her hand or flipped away by jerking her head ... about four thousand times.
