I was expecting a lot more in the way of excitement in this historical drama on the formation of the gardens at the newly built residence for Louis XIV at Versailles. Matthias Schoenaerts who plays the well regarded André Le Notre, the head landscape artist is not in top form. Kate Winslet unwittingly gets involved with him in more than on a professional level. She also does not perform up to snuff. This could have been the directorial debut of the late actor, Alan Rickman. It's a feature that simply does not wholly come together.
