Noel loved it and has scheduled an outing with her friendlets to see it again; while I am not a good consumer of cinema, I did burst into tears at one point when the directorial choices proved that Ava DuVernay really GOT Meg, no matter what had happened along the adaptation's way; there is a flying Savoy cabbage.
So. I liked it, and even -- though I don't see how they COULD -- wish they might make the sequel. I did not love it, but neither did I feel abused or robbed.
And they took all the Anglicanisms out, which was a blessed relief given Noel had no tiiiiiime for that.
