Trailer: Effie Gray, Starring Dakota Fanning and Emma Thompson

Posted on September 17, 2014 at 3:30 pm

Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her “Sense and Sensibility” screenplay. She wrote and stars in “Effie Gray,” with Dakota Fanning, the real-life story of the Victorian art critic, John Ruskin (David Suchet), and his much-younger bride, Effie Gray. Tom Sturridge plays John Millais, the artist she married after the unconsummated marriage to Ruskin was annulled.
