This is a reimagining of the Cinderella tale. Cinderella is Stella, a German Jewish refugee who is working for a fascist who lives in a manor home in rural Scotland, teaching his children German. He doesn't realize she's Jewish, of course.
The film has received several awards, it was filmed during the pandemic (an accomplishment in and of itself) and it doesn't seem to be getting a fair shake here. I'd encourage readers to find reviews that were published in newspapers and magazines to get a better idea of what this film is all about.
It is a little slow, but the acting is fine, the writing is good, too, and if you like the subject matter and the premise, you won't be disappointed.
The costumes are good and the cinematography is lovely. The Scottish countryside deserves a best supporting actor nomination, as the setting adds much to the mood of the film.
