A Little Chaos doesn't quite convince as a depiction of life as a 17th century French aristocrat, and is longer than it needs to be, but Madame de Barra's story is an interesting one, and there's plenty to charm green-thumbed film-goers.

How to describe that thing where you thoroughly enjoy watching something that is neither objectively good, nor enjoyably bad?

Rickman keeps the tone fluffy and occasionally self-aware, and even more so than most costume dramas, you always get the feeling that everyone's playing dress-up.

Flawed 17th-century costume drama.

Alan Rickman creates a sweet, charming period piece off an anachronistic but committed, beautifully directed performance from Kate Winslet.

True French historians should simply relax and enjoy a film that takes us on a beautifully photographed cinematic romp into a past as it likely SHOULD have been.

The story comes to life only fitfully, even with - or perhaps because of - its court intrigue and supporting characters both hissable (Helen McCrory as André's wife) and flamboyant (Stanley Tucci as the king's bisexual brother).

A very little chaos, and more's the pity.

It's difficult to conjure... excitement for a mess like "A Little Chaos," a lazy and off-puttingly anachronistic feminist fantasy about an 18th-century female landscape designer who finds love while creating... one of the grandest spaces in Versailles.

"A Little Chaos" wants us to be fascinated by a feminist who never was, then undermines her by casting an approving eye on the steamy affair she begins with her boss.
