A Little Chaos (2014)

Overwhelmed with his workload, landscape architect to Alan Rickman’s King Louis XIV Matthias Schoenaerts hires Kate Winslet to design one section of the Versailles gardens, despite the fact that her chaotic designs are at odds with his orderly sensibilities. It’s a perfectly serviceable period piece with gorgeous costumes and sets. There’s something about Winslet’s character that doesn’t feel right for the time period neither her costumes nor actions. The chemistry between the leads is lacking and the modernized statements feel out of place.
