John Ruskin is loathsome


I liked the film very much. Despite Effie's husband John Ruskin being unimaginably screwed up/sick psychologically, despite his own problems being literally unbelievable in every sense, I developed a deep loathing of him thanks to a film which is deft on all levels, from character development to acting.

I was thinking on very similar lines.

Ruskin has also been called "one of the gravediggers of English liberty."
