Alma (Vicky Krieps) is the latest ingenue of designer Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis). She is is muse, his model, and his lover but cannot seem to bridge a final distance between them. People fall over themselves to coddle the designer, chief among them his iron-hearted sister, Cyril (Lesley Manville), leaving Alma to claw her way into his affections time and again by any means necessary.
People. Please. I am begging. Stop dating/marrying/fucking people you don't actually like. Alma and Reynolds are sooooo toxic and no one needs to live this way. It's not cute; it's a cautionary tale.
If I say it's Crimson Peak by way of Gosford Park, would that make sense to anybody? It even has a ghost! It's streaming on Netflix right now if you're interested.
