Which is your favorite Felicity Jones frock flick role?
The Tempest
I really like Felicity, but I want the puppy even more.
She was very good in Northagner Abbey. I barely remember her from Brideshead Revisited, though I enjoyed that movie on the whole. Overall she has a likable face and just comes across as a decent person of substance, not a flake. Her look in the picture from Servants reminds me very much of Sally Hawkins’s look in Fingersmith.
I loved her in Cheerful Weather for the Wedding, an excellent movie overall with great costumes.
Wait, they gender flipped Prospero? I bet Dame Helen was wonderful.
