About This Movie

The English Waltz provides an intriguing glimpse into late 19th century English society, with its nuances of class and romance. The atmosphere is thick with tension as the retired Colonel Houp's country house buzzes with relatives and guests, all harboring their own secrets. Molly Gwyn's arrival from London adds complexity—she's young, yet marked by her husband's absence. The flirtation with Morris Lever is subtle, almost dangerous, hinting at deeper desires and unspoken rules. The pacing has a leisurely feel, allowing you to savor the moments, yet it carries an undercurrent of urgency that keeps you engaged. Performances are nuanced, with each character revealing layers of longing and regret, making it a unique piece in the romance genre.
