This film is an absolute masterpiece. A high stakes period drama as two talented landscape artists attempt to build the garden of dreams for King Louis XIV, a man or exquisite tastes. Kate Winslet stars as Madame Sabine De Barra, a widow and a woman or revolutionary talent and ideas in gardening. As pressure mounts to create perfection or face the consequences before they are out of time; Madame De Barra struggles with sexism among her workers and competitors, romantic entanglement with her employer and mentor André Le Notre (Matthias Schoenaerts), grief, and the poisonous actions of jealousy.

Rickman's portrayal of the King could seem very much by the book and as just another boring demonstration of aristocracy, that is until a little scene that takes place in a private garden between him and Winslet which is outstanding and touching. Also well worth a mention is Helen McCrory as the shallow and conniving Madame Le Notre, she plays this role perfectly.

It is a truly riveting story that captures the imagination and connects you to the characters. Winslet delivers a stunning performance that is certainly award worthy. She breathes life and passion into Madame De Barra in a way that is captivating to the audience, you genuinely like her and want her to succeed. Her co-star Schoenaerts also gives a noteworthy performance as his character grows and develops throughout the film.

Alan Rickman as the director has created an utterly beautiful film and a triumph of subtleties.
