Madame Bovary (2014) Mia Wasikowska - Movie Review

Madame Bovary is the story of a bored housewife, Emma Bovary (nee Rouault) whose ennui spurs her to not want to settle in to married life in a small country town, wanting to see the world, and experience life, love, and everything else the world has to offer. Unfortunately, she comes to find out, all of this has a price, which may be too high of a standard of living for a provincial doctor to support, especially one who is a firm believer in living life as simply and with less excitement as possible. As hubby Charles seems resolute at being stuck in his ways, Madame Bovary begins opening up to the possibilities of experiencing life without him, including looking elsewhere for love, decadent extravagance, and the hope of a more exciting life.
