Story

A young woman known for her unconventional spirit inherits a substantial fortune, granting her the independence she has long desired. As she travels and builds new relationships, she encounters fascinating people who seem drawn to her wealth and charm. Isabel begins to question whether the connections she forms are genuine or merely reflections of her newfound financial status, leading her to confront difficult truths about love, ambition, and personal agency.

Why watch

  • Nicole Kidman leads a character-driven drama about a woman navigating society on her own terms
  • Jane Campion directs a literary adaptation exploring wealth, independence, and human relationships
  • A 144-minute period romance featuring strong performances and complex emotional storytelling

Good for: Viewers who appreciate thoughtful dramas and period romance; not specifically a family film given its mature themes.
