Fanning does a fine job of portraying a woman who's beaten down and then learns to stand up, and Emma Thompson lights up the screen in a small role as Effie's sole ally, but the two acresses aren't enough to make Effie Gray watchable. There's just no light in this movie, no joy. El estreno de la película se retrasó por demandas que alegaban que el guion, escrito por Emma Thompson, plagiaba dramatizaciones anteriores de la misma historia. Effie Gray is a sumptuous historical drama set against a luscious backdrop, explores the scandalous love triangle between Victorian art critic John Ruskin. Though they perhaps echo the subject material, the drab, underlit interior shots and dreary exterior scenes - especially during an extended sojourn in Scotland - fail to make the heart quicken as it should. Claudia Cardinale, David Suchet, Derek Jacobi and Julie Walters join the ensemble cast in Richard Laxtons fine-tuned historical drama exploring the real-life. Effie Gray es una película británica de género dramático dirigida por Richard Laxton, estrenada en octubre de 2014 y en abril de 2015 para el público en general. It doesn't help that this period drama looks perpetually dismal and dark. We feel for her - it's difficult not to empathize when her husband is such an awful beast - but we get so little insight into why he is the way he is that we stop caring why. ( Spoiler alert: She eventually worked up the nerve to leave her spouse, with whom she lived with unhappily.) But Effie Gray, the film, starts with what could have been a classic love triangle tale but instead becomes an uninspired, laboriously told one. Effie Gray is a 2014 British biographical film written by Emma Thompson and directed by Richard Laxton, starring Dakota Fanning, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, David Suchet, Derek Jacobi, James Fox, Robbie Coltrane (in his final film role), Claudia Cardinale, Greg Wise, and Tom Sturridge. Her second husband was Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais. Effie Gray, the historical figure, is a real-life tragic character with a feel-good ending. Euphemia Effie Chalmers Millais, Lady Millais (nee Gray), was a Scottish artist and author.
