And this is why we love Manhola Dargis. It's a NYT Pick!

So the movie is intentionally "unstable" because evething is filtered by poor Louis Wain brain,

This is going to be one of those “love it” or “hate it” movies for film critics. Let’s hope that there’s more love than hate!

I’m happy that the WSJ liked the movie, but Caroline was his sister, not his mother. Being the oldest sister, she took over running the household, even when their mother was still alive. And Louis had 5 sisters, not 6. Again, I think the reviewer mistook his mother as one of his sisters. And can they even be called “spinsters” when they’re little girls? Even when they’re grown up, can’t they just be “unmarried”?
There was an earlier review that pointed out a supposed error - how could the family have afforded a governess if they were destitute? It’s hard for us to imagine the class system that existed. They had to live by all these rules. They were in that upper class, no matter how little money they had. The sisters were each expected to marry money, and so was Louis, but none of that happened. I think they did without a lot of other servants, but the governess was a necessity. In the movie, I think Louis offers to teach his sisters, but then changes his mind when he meets Emily.
Also, the WSJ gave TPOTD a negative review. It was a different reviewer, though.
