It has its moments. A lot of them.
This is a story about two women: Wallis Simpson and a contemporary women named for her by "obsessed" mother and grandmother.
Their lives collide when Sotheby's holds an auction of the former King and Wallis's belongings and our protagonist visits obsessively.
It's beautifully shot, lavishly even. The casting and costuming are superb. The scoring was simple, purposeful and haunting.
The story, from Wallis's perspective was interesting. Having just watched, "The Crown", I was familiar with the fall-out but not the falling in love. Fascinating.
Our modern Wallie has a predictable and overdone story, no subtlety whatsoever. But, it ends well and who doesn't love a happy ending.
This was a successful movie and it was only when the credits rolled thst I saw Madonna. I give her points for not casting herself as Wallis Simpson, I'm sure she was tempted.
