Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
93年男主演高中生好违和。开场歌曲很抓耳，但电影给人一种立不住的空心感，情绪是靠音乐刺激，故事的起承转合太生硬和虚假。
案情老套，但加入了地震海啸后的人心的恢复，社会保障体系的缺失，这立意就不一样了
演员的演技都没问题，剧情有点单薄，杂乱的时间线令人头秃，大结局说实话觉得有点画龙添足了。
5.2 电影中歌舞片的门类中通常是角色在一个空旷无人的场景中独唱或者是众人齐唱，哪怕是《新白娘子传奇》都讲究一人唱歌全员皆唱的风格。这里一人唱歌，其他人对话真的非常诡异，要注意的是，音乐剧中，音乐场景布置是最核心的两个东西，这两个特质在电影要排稍后的，这种平衡非常难以把握
受限于题材的特长发挥-10/01/21 at AMC Garden State 16
我摩尔真是好强悍啊，她在桌前和儿子对话的那场戏，那个场景和表面的意义，基本和“窗女”是一样，她竟可以处理得截然不同，她是技巧和气度的天才，我的AA你可不可以好好学习一下，你看看你在这部戏里差成什么鬼样，这部电影她还在那个舒适区里偷懒，和摩尔对戏被全方位的碾压。这个故事太古怪了，为什么不好好的情理化一下剧本呢，因为歌舞片说的部分的剧情就只用说意思吗？
全日本仅有1%的人享受低保，欧美是5%～10%，那么，我们呢～
宽松的、蒙太奇丰富的叙事；日式正能量、日式说教、日式原谅和感谢大法合在一起的结尾；加贺一样的阿部宽和后期稍稍有点过猛的佐藤健…差强人意吧。但结合自己现在经受的复杂的境遇，以及桑田佳祐的片尾曲，我愿意给8分。
这个题材还是值得鼓励的。故事讲得不错，还把警察儿子的事也讲完了
3.5题材很好，和当下的上海疫情遥相呼应（），但拍得又浅又平，该铺垫的地方不铺垫，属于完全是靠观众自己的经历和共情才能感同身受到主旨和细腻的感情流动，需要观众自己找补。两位主要角色都没塑造起来。
如果不是阿部宽，佐藤健，就不会去看，意外觉得女主不错
这个当时是影院看贴片预告时发现的，貌似是Broadway音乐剧改编，当时感觉蛮想看的。说真的，这个完全不适合做成音乐歌舞片，可以电影倒是，这一个妥妥的tragedy，人说着说着就唱起来了，咋回事嘛，而且理性的讲，EH也是受害者，他这么随手一个写的note，成为一个他完全不认识的陌生人的suicide trigger，而他还要假装成为他的bff，Jesus，不过说的话，电影里确实描写的不好，感觉他虽然没有利用但是他逐渐的让这个谎言扩大最终伤害了CM一家。中间双方父母对话资助那段我倒是喜欢eh妈妈的那段，那会就感觉eh有点不对劲，他有点歪了。还有，这里面AA的Cm妈妈也有点那种不舒服的感觉。比较喜欢KD演的妹妹，她真的演青春片真的好漂亮，不论是主角还是配角。
歌好听，冲着青少年心理健康主题也要加一星然而电影本身是真的有点不行……
还没看过，歌已经听熟了。演讲的时候还是哭出来了。缺点有二:剪辑和男主角显老
音乐还是比较优秀，但是剧情是真的尴尬，EH怎么残得这么快😂
音乐剧改编电影真的很难改得好看，还不如直接搬stage version；而且恕我直言Ben Platt就不适合大银幕，在电影版本的青春洋溢的配角的映衬下更显得。。。julianne moore和amy adams在这里根本就大材小用，为什么要把我的laura小姐姐换掉QAQ！
理解了为什么原音乐剧会在北美这么火，剧作描写角度之全面 总有一款能related ，从男主 父母 妹妹 养父母 单亲父母，还有戳中我的，学生会长代表的抑郁群体角度，全全cover了。导演依旧擅长煽情治愈那套，拍法中规中矩没啥问题，但从选中Ben Platt这张老脸的时候这片子就注定完了...论合适的casting比演技更重要。
7分的音乐剧改编电影，中规中矩，歌很好听，想讲青少年抑郁、自杀问题，可惜没有很深入展开，似乎只是说多关注就好了，后面的故事也显得太轻，除了《You will be found》，其他真的看过就忘了
今年最大疑惑之一是为什么DEH不直接放官摄？？？？？Ben本来减肥后就显老电影镜头里更是快老成Fred Armisen了Kaitlyn Dever看上去跟他侄女似的…虽然唱得挺好的吧 AA和Julianne Moore是不是欠了谁人情帐才接了这部…但无论如何DEH音乐剧是非常好的 Ben是非常会唱的 电影是非常非常没必要的 希望大家直接去B站搜录像看看吧……唉😮💨
立意挺好的，台词太肤浅，表现手法也有点浅薄
