This film is interesting & watchable. I might have given it a 5, as it is certainly well-acted and visually stunning. But the plot, while played for laughs, is actually depressing and sad. As a child, Tilly is mercilessly bullied by the other children and shunned by the adults. She is blamed for the death of another child, and can't remember what she did, if anything, to cause his death. She is sent away --- it is never explained where (juvenile hall? foster care? boarding school?) Twenty-five years later, Tilly returns to the small town to care for her mother, who is physically disabled, and eccentric, possibly mentally ill. Tilly starts a successful dressmaking business, but her real objective is to get revenge on those who have abused her. A local guy falls in love with her. He's the kind of guy that only exists in fiction: impossibly handsome, muscular, intelligent, loyal, and for some strange reason completely unattached, until he falls in love at first sight with Tilly. Instead of appreciating this guy & being glad her luck has changed, Tilly continues to brood about the past and the townspeople who look down on her. Finally, Tilly has more bad luck and exacts a horrible revenge. Yes, the townspeople are mean and no doubt deserved what they got, but it was hard to empathize with Tilly when she sank to their level. The subject matter --- physical and emotional abuse of a child --- seems too serious a topic to be treated as a comedy. I think the audience is supposed to cheer for Tilly at the end, but I felt like crying. Read full review
