In this Jane Austen-ish caper, Zawe Ashton brings dollops of wiggly mischief to the role of Julia Thistlewaite, a flirty, impetuous and somewhat jaded schemer, who’s good with a gun and even better at holding a grudge.
It’s 1818 and Julia is furious with handsome aristocrat, Mr Jeremy Malcolm ( Sopé Dìrísù; so impressive as a furtive Sudanese refugee in the Netflix chiller His House, and delightfully grave here).
