The Governess (1998)
7/10
A really odd storyline...

I find this movie was quite rather odd and different. I mean, OK this governess is really much based on a Jewish aristocrat who just took up a teacher job just because she wants to support more for her family. I think it's selfish and rather strange to take up this job. I would understand the story of Jane Eyre on why she had to take up a job as a governess but I did not understand why Rosina da Silva took up the position. This will wonder in my head for a long long time really....

Anyways, I thought Minnie Driver looked absolutely stunning, she's like an Italian goddess. I would've preferred her character to be with Jonathan Rhy Mehers character. Although, I thought his voice was too sweet for his role. I know he was meant to play as a teenage boy but I didn't think it suits him personally. You have to admit girls, he still looks hot today even if he has a fiancée xD

I kinda like the movie but then again, it's alright to keep you going. I'll give this film 7/10.
