This fun episode was an episode full of fun - just what we needed after a stressful day of stress. Felicia's novel novel made us laugh like viewers laughing at a fun episode of Father Brown and her trademark scream was a scream, answering our prayers like prayers being answered. We really enjoyed seeing this old friend popping back like an old friend popping back and Lady Montague really sparkled like something really sparkly.

There are so many great characters now in the Browniverse, that I'd love more spin-offs eg The Montagues and/or Devine & Sullivan, not necessarily as murder mysteries, but comedy dramas.

I really enjoy these slower, smaller cast movies made during/since Covid. Both modern and timeless issues are covered and there's a range of characters at different stages in their career, so all the perspectives and dilemmas are relatable at some time in life, which makes this production more rewatchable in future. Furthermore, many ages could view this flick together and have good conversation about the content eg older viewers would reminisce about film/prints/slide whilst the tech savvy explain computer editing.

My only gripe is there's far too much digital/electronic music for a film about analogue photography - it needed to be acoustic all the way to really match the storyline and artistic style of this production.

Balancing life is a dilemma familiar to all of us, so in that respect there's something for everyone in the movie. However, this two-year scenario barely scratches the surface on how short events and on-going reality have long-term impact. I hope there are sequels as both the main story and ending should be expanded upon - the latter, whilst seemingly feel-good, actually throws up even more problems! Despite the intense traumas covered, I did spend a lot of the movie thinking the characters had it easy compared to many real people with far more complex and life-altering issues. That said, there's still a lot of amazing content here, and whilst I can't relate to some of the conversational pairings like long talks with a minister, the original, semi-duet montage especially made an impact on me.
