Unexpectedly came across this film on Netflix and enjoyed it. Beautiful true story about the origins of spiritualism and its founder. Learned something new from history. Everything is beautifully depicted, especially Paris in 1850 with some recognizable places and monuments. The typical 'dark', almost musty study rooms with lots of books and candlelight also contribute to an atmospheric setting. The right choice of color and lighting gave this film a certain appeal. The story itself is presented at a very calm, flowing pace. It will not appeal to everyone and for some it will be a bit too quiet and well-behaved.
Here and there you see some cheap CGI (carriages around Arc De Triomf) but it is not disturbing and the film does not rely on it.
Thanks to the setting and content I give this 4*.
