Let me be more succinct. Effie Gray (1828 \u2013  1897) was the love interest  &#8211; at age 12 &#8211;  of noted art critic, writer and complex human being John Ruskin (1819 \u2013 1900.) Married to him when she was 19. Rejected by him in all and every aspect of marriage for the next 6 years. She rails against his parents who have an unhealthy hold over him (they were first cousins who married each other), and a Victorian-era establishment that tells women they have to accept their lot. She risks the downfall of her bankrupt parents who are dependent on Ruskin&#8217;s generosity, and insists on the passivity of a meek adorer, the painter Millais &#8211; eventually, in one big feminist swoop she fights for the annulment of the marriage due to her husband&#8217;s unwillingness to consummate it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?resize=890%2C668&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5514.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Success! Against all odds! (Eventually she marries Millais and has 8 children with him and manages his career quite successfully, even getting back into the good graces of the Queen.

The movie pretty much bombed, needless to say.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_4456.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_4456.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_4456.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_4456.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_4456.jpg?resize=560%2C747&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_4456.jpg?resize=80%2C107&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_4456.jpg?w=1350&amp;ssl=1 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole marriage dissolution was a huge scandal in its time, but the film provides only subtle hints, if that, at what was going on, so little spark in any of the characters, that you wonder what the fuss was all about.

The whole topic of idealized purity and virginity by a repressed man in repressive times, his longing obsessively channeled into his admiration and support for pre-Raphaelite painting style, and later into religious conversions, would explain so much more than just being depicted as an emotionally frigid villain who is turned off by his wife&#8217;s pubic hair.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5015.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5015.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5015.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5015.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5015.jpg?resize=560%2C747&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5015.jpg?resize=80%2C107&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_5015.jpg?w=1350&amp;ssl=1 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The controversy over potential pedophilia &#8211; biographers and critics at least agree he did no engage in sexual relations  with children or, for that matter, anyone else, &#8211; distracts from the intellectual riches of the man, also not exactly spelled out in the film. Ruskin wrote hundreds of essays and books, breaking ground both with art criticism and later with radical views on political economy and social reform. He was revered by the Greats of his time, from Tolstoy to Proust to Gandhi, from T.S.Eliot to Ezra Pound; his work influenced Le Corbusier and Gropius, and more painters than I can list.
