‘Mr. Malcolm's List Review

“Mr. Malcolm's List” is a lackluster Regency-era romance centered on Jeremy Malcolm (Sope Dirisu), a wealthy, arrogant bachelor searching for a woman who satisfies his 10-point checklist for a desirable partner.

The conflict begins when Malcolm rejects Julia Thistlewaite (Zawe Ashton), a singleton who fails Point No. 4 — “converses sensibly” — and publicly humiliates her by yawning behind her back.

Julia, sworn to vengeance, devises a plan to mislead the snob into falling in love with her childhood friend Selina Dalton (Freida Pinto), a country naif whom Julia presents as Malcolm's dream bride through many deceptions. (In one moment, Selina is made to look like a piano virtuoso.) As a leaf flowing downstream, Selina succumbs to her friend's plan rather than agreeing.

However, the film is too soft-hearted to denounce Julia as a privileged brat. (It could be more entertaining if it weren't) Early sequences are infused with pity for the nervous would-be women of this society. Suzanne Allain's screenplay, adapted from her novel of the same name, seems to imply that a marriage-oriented culture generates shallow, superficial girls.

Emma Holly Jones, the film's director, appears to concur as she juxtaposes pictures of beautiful birds in cages with views of frantic debutantes wearing pink-plumed hats. Jones demonstrates in an opera scene that the young women are too concerned with gossip to pay attention to Rossini's powerful music.
