But after being introduced to the glamorous world of high society, she soon becomes bored with her stodgy mate and seeks excitement and status outside the bonds of marriage. (Transmission Films)

Madame Bovary messed up her life through and through and we watch that today. A romantic book adaptationfilmed a thousand times and always the same. But I actually saw a few movies proving that it can be done in an original manner. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. And Mia Wasikowska can’t save the movie either. ()
So I unfortunately confirmed that I have a problem with Mia Wasikowska and I don't enjoy watching movies with her. In addition to that, there is a costume drama about a bored woman at home who wants some adventure and has to pay for it. The source material has been filmed so many times, the story has been told in various ways, that I just sighed when I heard about it. ()
