Mr. Malcolm's List is PERFECT for Austen and Bridgerton Stans (AKA Moi) 🫶🏼🥹 

"Jane Austen taught me never trust a man in uniform." that was exactly my thoughts when they first introduced Captain Ossory. we learned our lesson very well.

I found Mr. Malcom’s List to be a refreshing addition to the period rom-coms. I love that they gave Miss Dalton two equally charming love interests instead of making every other man an odious creep like they do in most movies. I also loved that the movie valued the female friendship between Miss Thistlewait and Miss Dalton, it felt akin to Lizzie Bennett and Charlotte Lucas’ friendship. Honestly the film feels like the clear heir apparent to Jane Austen, I think she would’ve approved of the story. The critics are just haters letting their bigotry show. OT: I think the reason Mr. Malcom’s apology to Miss Dalton was so striking was because men in rom-coms don’t apologize to women, their actions are supposed to speak for them. This was an annoying trend I started to notice in Stranger Things (wrong genre, I know) and in Bridgerton, specifically Anthony Bridgerton who is physically incapable of apologizing to a woman, even to his mother her deserves all the cuddles in the world.

The reviews I've seen so far have been way too critical of this film. Yes, it's predictable, but that's not a bad thing. It's a fun, lighthearted movie with a good amount of drama.

love love love your description of why the restraint on physical intimacy in period dramas elevates emotion expressed any other way; never realized that but it's so true!

nooo way, persuasion (2022) left me in a period drama mood TOO and didn’t satisfy me so i rewatched bridgerton s2 and mr malcoms list 😂

The author who wrote the book, wrote the screenplay.

I recently bought the book, and I’m barely 10 chapters in and I’m OBSESSED with how cute it is! I unfortunately wasn’t able to see it in theaters (live in a tiny town, movie theater only really brings in children’s movies and things like Top Gun) but I’m excited to buy it once it releases physically (or comes on HBOMAX)

wait wait wait....HE'S SPEAKING YORUBA IN THE MOVIE?! I completely freaked at that bit, I assumed everything was just straight up colourblind cast a la Bridgerton season one, but it's more like 2 where they actually wrote in specific cultural background to the character.

im glad im not the only person that has to pause the movie to get the reaction out of the way then continuing. yes i am someone who will pace and rant while the movie is on pause XD

I absolutely loved this movie. We saw it at the theater and you better believe there was clapping! This one I will buy and love forever!

The guy playing Cassie was having SO much fun, the pure joy of the shenanigans and his moments of chagrin were infectious.

I love that they didn't just have a black man in the lead. They made him Yoruba, one of the largest groups in Africa who make up a good portion of black London in the modern era. That looks awesome. I'm definitely going to have to watch it.

4:45 oh god, poor Julia, the date is crashing and burning and she is trying to salvage it because the ton is viscous. I love Jeremy and Cassie and how Cassie ends up being the sane person 🤣 7:38 they are so cute. 19:34 they made up 🥰 besties for life.

This movie deserves all the awards!!! 🏆🏆🏆

15:40 The gracefulness and elegance of these hand movements right here... PERFECTION.

I read the title and I'm instantly sold let me go watch the movie and come back

I hope you watched the credits as well!! There was art showing their afterscreen stories: a double wedding, double pregnancy, Cassie winning a horse beauty contest, etc💓💓 so so cute

I was hoping this would be good! So glad you liked it!!

If you love Theo then Sanditon is *required viewing*!! He's in S1 and his character journey haunts me like no other Austen man. SO dashing in the Regency clothes as well. Could be a fun review 😍

Hey, idk if you read comments but I recently discovered your channel thanks to your bridgerton book reviews and I AM OBSESSED! You have such an amazing personality and I love your view on books. You're also very gorgeous. Thank you for your amazing work

I saw this movie twice in theaters and felt like they made it just for me! It was great to see your enthusiasm for it as well. 😆 I need more of these types of stories in my life!

7:49 I love how fatherly and motherly both Cassy and Julia are with Selina, they’re like proud parents who raised well their daughter. They’re adorable!!

Oh your expressions are so funny, so human. You are like a Disney character yourself. Just expression your way through life. I love it. Please make sure to document your own romances well and share if you do choose! xxx

I only watched this movie thanks to your recommendation, and I loved loved loved it!!!!

Hi Dariaa, i just want to say thank you for making this channel and to keep uploading your videos, i especially really like your BOTAA videos, your fondness and admiration towards jane austen is really show in those video and made me want to start reading jane austen's work, cause in my country austen's work is not a mandatory read when we were in school, therefore i couldn't really appreciate her works even though i already watch some of her adaptions years before, but you're battle of austen adapation videos is what made me fall in love with jane austen and funnily enough i just found out i share the same birthday as hers~!! so it was really cool and strengthen the love i have for her as a writer and a woman even more and none of that wouldn't happen if i don't stumble upon your channel so thanks once again Daria 😉💖

Saw this movie in the theater and loved it. It was so swoony and so romantic and so funny. Every actor was perfectly cast and performed so well. 10/10

where did you watch this? because eight minutes in, i've decided i NEED to see it, too.

i've said this once, and i've said this again, and i'll say this every time after, but i loveeeeee how much you geek out about these movies/series. you're the cutest person in the world and i hope you continue to find all the books and media that bring you a waves of serotonin. you deserve that and all the world

Just found you and I've been binge watching all your videos. So glad to come across your videos!

You're adorable! I appreciate your comments and enthusiasm. I enjoyed this movie so much that I went back to the theater for a second Saturday in a row to see it again. It was gone from the theaters too soon. It has a great cast with beautiful costumes and cinematography.

You are the reason I watched this and I am so happy I did! My little period piece romance heart is so full!!!

" Two for the prize of one "🤣🤣🤣

You are a gem. I’m so excited to watch this

Can’t wait to see that film. I love watching your reactions!

My mom and I watched this together when she came to visit recently thanks to your recommendation, and we loved it - thank you!!

9:00 I, too, assumed he'd be a bit of a rake. Was glad to be wrong in my assumption!

I just recently found your channel and I LOVE your personality! You fanning yourself sent me🤣 I had the same feelings watching this movie

I read the book and then watched the movie right after! 10/10 adaptation. It had the sweetness, the tension, and comedy of the book while having my favorite thing: color blind casting! I've read Incognito by Suzanne Allain and loved it as well. I laughed out loud at multiple points. She's an autobuy author for me now.

The book is delightful. I haven't seen the movie yet, but the clips you've shown makes it seem like a fairly faithful adaptation. And the story of how the movie got made is great too: it was featured on a podcast as one of the best unmade scripts, then the opening scenes got made into an "overture" featuring much of the same cast. Then the overture got the script sold to make the movie. I think you'd really like the book, and Suzanne Allain's newest book Miss Lattimore's Letter. Aside from being great stories, both have some really charming references to Jane Austen, if you know to spot them.

I watched this movie during the Christmas break and I LOVED it. What a lovely film, and the casting! The combination of actors couldn't be more awesome!

You forgot to mention Antony Bridgerton at 2:08 when you were talking about the regency men with a particular list to find a eligible wife.....remember Antony in the first episode of season 2 🤭😂

I watched this as soon as I realized it was available to rent- it’s so cute! The characters are adorable, and they’re amazing eye and hand chemistry. Sometimes I just want a movie with as little angst as possible while hitting me over the head with good feelings and this did that.

My dentist was talking about this movie this morning. Guess I'll have to watch it. 😊 Hope things are better soon. Sending you Mom Hugs .

Loved your reaction and loved the movie!! 🤩

I really enjoyed this movie it was very sweet and yes predictable but was still charming plus it was beautiful to see not one but two poc in lead roles of a regency drama 👏💯💗

"Mississippi Masala" is a classic movie with this same romantic combination.

ahh! I loved this reaction!! This movie was so wonderful!!

Thanks for the recommendation! This movie was so good!

Okay, you’ve persuaded me, I’ll definitely watch it

Thank you for this discovery. I have to watch it! :)

The movie was released here in England this weekend, last night I watched it and this afternoon I'm watching your reaction to it. I saw you had a video about this when I was looking into the Netflix Persuasion debacle and couldn't wait to get your response. Your reaction was as adorable and inciteful as I was expecting. I also live in Bath so the line about it being quite the destination for Septugenarians raised a few giggles in my screen. What I'm about to say might seem like a criticism of the film, but it's not intended as such. What I like about the film is that it's modern. It was written in 2009 by an American not in 1813 by an Englishwoman. This film follows all the structures and tropes of a modern rom-com movie rather than a novel of the Regency. If we updated the EXACT plot to today and have the Zawe Ashton character be the head of a publishing house (They're always in publishing) who gets humiliated by an Insta post going viral, it would be the same film. Cast someone like Vivica Fox and you could play it on Hallmark. What saves this movie and why I actually love it are two main factors. Sope Dirisu & Freida Pinto have smouldering chemistry that I buy whole-heartedly, and Zawe Ashton steals the whole movie. She is a goddess amongst mortals in this film.

I just watched it, its my new comfort movie now.

Had to pause this video and I'm saving it for later because I do not like not even a wee bit of spoilers -- heck, I don't even finish trailers at times like they reveal to much. I like to go in blind even if the plot is predictable. But, I'm so excited now to watch!!!

Can we please get more of this type of film?? For period film junkies we just don’t get many new gems like this one!

I’m coming back to this vid after I watch it tonight 😁😁😁

I loved this movie SO MUCH!!! I haven't read the book but the film was the perfect palate cleanser I needed after "Persuasion"!! All through it I really wanted Cassy to find his one true love - and it would end up being a guy! Oh well, maybe in the sequel ;-)

Just finished it and loved it!

just finished watching it!this movie is really really good 🥰 funny, charming, witty 😍

I might be in the minority there, but I LOVED both Netflix’s Persuasion and Mr. Malcolm’s List for how it respected its white, Black and Indian female leads on screen, both movies were directed and written by women and that was very empowering. One can’t argue on that. And I love the book version of Persuasion on its own! I think both movies will age well for different reasons. I enjoy the theater influence in both movies as there are several scenes where the female characters look at the camera and I love the humour and the editing of both movies. According to me, this is how period romance should be on screen, sweet, fun, witty and with multidimensional characters. Bridgerton didn't give me that. However, Mr. Sunshine on Netflix did it and I highly recommend this fantastic show. It’s way more dramatic but it still has humour and the romance is Oscar-worthy. It didn't need to be extremely explicit to be engaging. I’m so glad more modern period dramas from the West are going for the pure vision of romance on screen.

What a charming movie! I love the cast, I have to watch it! 🙂

I watched the movie and previously read the book. It's a faithful adaptation with a couple necessary updates. I really enjoyed it.

Going to watch this now!

Great recommendation! It's a shallow comment but I wanted to complement you on your great hair (from a curly girl to another)

LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!!!!

This looks great!

immediately adds to my 'to watch list'

Love your channel.

I would love to hear you talk about the different adaptions of Vanity Fair. I remember seeing a 1998 TV series adaption that I quite liked.

loved it and not how proud how i had to watch it. i would have paid for it if i had the chance

Fabulous, after the debacle of the Netflix Persuasion, I'm happy to find something else that will fill my regency void after watching the last flim.

A Romantic Love Story 'A pure motive and good wholesome intentions.' 'To Conclude: Excellent casting and intelligent storytelling.'

Did you watched Sanditon? Curious to know your thoughts on it

Not sure if I love the screams 😅 because my ears HURT, but the vibes are ALL THERE ❤️ The sound mix can do some adjusting 😗🙃 but such an interesting review 💓🫶🏼💓🫶🏼💓🫶🏼💓 *Screams in Austen’s VIBES* 😱

“Even with that stupid mustache!” OMG RIGHT?!!?

Hey great video hope you feel better soon hope you’ll be satisfied

I was wondering if Anthony Bridgerton in season 2 having a list was inspired by Mr. Malcom's List

Girl please tell us what lip gloss you use❤️

Hi love this 💞 would you ever do a reaction video to the Sanditon series with Theo James x

Where can I watch it?

Did I just fucking hear him speak yoruba😭😭😭mad. At least they managed to represent us Nigerians in the movie

Unfortunately, there's no way to watch it in Germany 😔. I guess we'll have to wait for it....hopefully not that long. Watched the short film...but it is TOO short 😉

You need to watched Sanditon

There’s also a short film, with mostly the same actors! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5WIcqyHDuIg.html

I can´t watch it in my country :-((((((

Has anyone ever told you that you sound like a dead ringer for lilsimsie? Like her and you talk the exact same with very similar mannerisms it's actually kinda wild.

Personally, I didn’t love this movie because I found it very hard to believe that Selina and Malcom were in love by the end of it. Their chemistry felt off and I didn’t find them interesting enough to be the main couple…. I did enjoy the movie to a certain extent but only because Julia fucking killed it! Loved every bit of her character and her development! She really felt like an Austen mean girl and I appreciate her for it✨

I love this movie, the characters and everything, except the soundtrack it felt more of a copy of Emma´s soudntrack.

I was a bit peeved that the trailer seem to give the whole plot away, and it seemed a bit too derivative of Bridgerton, I will probably pass...

I am also that bitch who claps alone at movies/TV shows.

I haven't watched it yet, I want to but I am afraid it's just too boring and predictable...

The movie was pleasant, but...am I the only person who disliked the casting of Mr Malcolm? The actor has no charm or charisma, and his delivery is so bland. If Sope Dirisu and Theo James had swapped roles, the movie would be so much better!

Daria blessing my feed cuz I literally watched the movie this week 🥹❤️‍🔥✨
