CGiii Comment

The only thing this film lacked was a score.

Otherwise...for a period piece, it's pretty damned perfect. Subtlety, subtext, innuendo...but, no music - it really needed music!

No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

In Regency-era London five women waiting for a carriage descend into a frenzy of vicious gossip about a notorious scandal - with devastating results.
