Mr. Malcom’s List Review *7.3/10 To some, the casting of this Austen-like film is reflective of the so-called “Bridgerton-effect” in which a diverse group of actors lead a period piece. Other examples include The Personal History of David Copperfield or the currently running, “The Gilded Age.” Yet, what the critical community and more ignorant crowd of the film and television industry have failed to notice is the theater’s spearheading of this vision.
