I am having such a hard time keeping my strong dislike of this woman separate from my opinon about the documentary itself.

The filmmakers do, definitely, make an effort to present this topic in an unbiased way, but I'd posit they fail as Sarma is given way too much space and time on the camera and doesn't seem to be challenged or questioned in any meaningful way. It's more like a little friendly chat rather than any questioning.

A few other reviewers here compare the documentary to Tinder Swindler. You can't make a worse comparison. Sarma was not swindled, she knew what she was doing and all the bolony she came up with to maker herself look like the victim is ridiculous to say the least. My opinion is that she tried to swindle and instead got swindled herself.

Please, Netflix, can you make more meaningful documentaries on more worthy subjects? Pretty please? Rich, white, privileged pretty faces have been given enough exposure already...

This topic is good for one podcast episode, not Netflix series... do better.

From acting, scenery to music score...

... this movie and adaptation of beloved Jane Austen's novel is absolutely gorgeous.

I particularly enjoy the adaptations - the changes where the movie slightly departs from the novel - as it is done perfectly and with a true understanding and feeling of/for the text of the novel (yes, I read the book).

The two main characters have the most amazing chemistry and both the bright blue eyes of the actor playing Mr Darcy with the dark emotional depth of Elizabeth Bennett's eyes... mirror the contrast of the two characters ... they are amazingly paired. I can't really find anything to critique about the acting perhaps for 'Kitty' to be less affected as it gets annoying at some point, but the character is true to its description in the book and the character is supposed to be annoying, so well done to the actor and the movie makers. Although, I wish to have seen more of Mr. Sutherland ...

Now the scenery; oh my wore, it's absolutely breath taking!

And last but not least is the music. It's perfectly paired to the scenes and conveys the feeling in the most ingenious way. It makes one want to learn to play a piano.

This movie is a joy to behold.
