When she fails to meet an item on his list of requirements for a bride, Julia Thistlewaite (Zawe Ashton) is jilted by London’s most eligible bachelor, Mr. Malcolm (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù). Feeling humiliated and determined to exact revenge, she convinces her friend Selina Dalton (Freida Pinto) to play the role of his ideal match. Soon, Mr. Malcolm wonders whether he’s found the perfect woman...or the perfect hoax.
A whirlwind of sumptuous fashion, lavish country getaways, a glittering masquerade ball and high-society chicanery, Mr. Malcolm’s List captures 19th-century London’s notorious “marriage mart” season in all its glorious excess.
