DRAMA PICK OF THE YEAR– GUARDIAN

“From the first drizzle-soused English exterior to the last gasp of the big fat portentous strings, I was weak with lust for both BBC2’s Daphne and Geraldine Somerville’s performance…this was about as good and gorgeous as it gets” The Observer

“One of the most engrossing and inventive televisual literary profiles the BBC has made in years.  Beavan has filmed the whole thing as a homage to classic Hollywood” Time Out   

“This is a brilliant portrayal of a woman of a certain class and time” The Sunday Times

“Classy, languid drama…an intriguing film about an enigmatic subject” Radio Times  

“This is a beautifully crafted drama: there are some breathtaking shots” Daily Mail
