Savage House
The film
Against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – Sir Chauncey Savage and Lady Savage blindly pursue a better life. It's not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed, filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed.
This is a total mixed bag, but the cast almost makes it work. Richard E. Grant and Claire Foy are the clear standouts, with Grant's Sir Chauncey Savage and Foy's Lady Savage bringing real fire to their roles as a couple navigating a decadent, violent 18th-century England. The sharp, dark humor is a huge hit, and the film looks great, but the story itself feels weak and overly familiar to many, dragging down the whole affair. A vocal few really tore into the pacing. Ultimately, it's a fun but flawed period piece that lives and dies by its stellar performances.
