Review Time

Warning: there is a rainbow community component/burning/medical

In Wales: briefly; we meet Henry, 5th Marquess of Anglesey [Callum Scott Howells:] he is flamboyant and by today's standards a member of the rainbow community, but  heir apparent to his father's titles businesses and fortune upon his death, but for now here's got to learn the ropes on how to act the role he will be given in the future, but he doesn't have a lot of time left was well; essentially he says hell to that, I am going to get married to my best friend to assist us to get out of our situations; her name is Lily [Ruby Stokes:] she looks to be getting married to someone that she doesn't like, but as I have already referenced they come up with a plan to change all that and they agree to a nonsexual relationship and basically this is their story.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script only really covers this time in Wales and words on screen later, the framework and pacing of this 108 minutes film is good

Art; the landscapes, set design, costumes, make-up and anything other really including this fantastic and felt dance performance from our lead character/performer Henry/Howells called; Butterfly Dance

Character developments, comedy and performances; these are all good; the character developments are throughout are good versions of what they are meant to be in their stations in life, the comedy comes from predominately our lead, as from this time in history his flamboyant and/or eccentricities may start off comical as showing up for tea late and after an incident leaving with his dog, but much later taking a darker turn as he wants to buy everything from this shelf from this jewellery store or store similar to this. So by in large the performances from this cast are very good performances and chemistry throughout the entire cast, this film has a three point spearhead to rely on the first two I have already referenced; but we now have Rupert Everett as Gelert; he is a long serving Butler type of character, but his roles include in this case charge of Henry [which for the younger generations this basically means; if Henry screws up not only is it Henry's fault, it is also the fault of his charge; because it is his responsibility to ensure that he doesn't do anything stupid or to bring his family name into disrepute or literally anything you can think of:] This trio but in excellent performances.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; if you are into Biopic or history or costume dramas this film will suit you down to the ground, there are some bits and pieces in the closing credits section. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner FOCUS Wales Film Festival 2026  Best Director Feature Film Celyn Jones and 1 Nominee Frameline San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival 2026 Audience Award Comcast Audience Award for Narrative Feature Celyn Jones (director)
