I confess that, yes, I usually like Hallmark movies. And I like period pieces. So this movie is a terrible disappointment.
I just finished watching season 2 of The Gilded Age so I hope I didn't grade this movie further down in comparison but these are the thoughts that came to mind while viewing:
It has second rate acting.
It has third rate plot and dialogue.
It has fourth rate directing. Over directing.
(Third rate on average.)
The endless and all too frequent quick cuts during conversations were nauseating. And the puzzling way some of the actors uttered their lines had me blaming the director too.
