I didn't have any expectations, I haven't read the book (I think I will now though) but I know the story. So this isn't a comparison on the book and I love period pieces but I thought it was very well done. I would guess the bad reviews are people that object to this interpretation of the book. It reminds me a bit of Outlander. It surprises me how relevant stories like this continue to be even nearly 100 years later. Both on the judgement of women and the treatment of workers...the railroad workers strike came to mind as I watch it. Either way, it's worth a watch if you like this find of film.
