Mr. Malcolm's List is a 2022 historical drama film directed by Emma Holly Jones and written by Suzanne Allain, based on her novel of the same name.
It stars Freida Pinto, Sope Dirisu, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ashley Park, Zawe Ashton, and Theo James.
The film follows a young woman in the 1800s England who helps her friend to get revenge on a suitor who rejected her for failing a requirement on his list of qualifications for a bride.
When they are formally introduced, Malcolm invites Selina to the museum with him, where he pleads his case that he and Julia had a very weak connection.
The following day, Ossery invites Selina to walk with him and formally announces his intention to court her, as his aunt's final letter to him expresses her desire for the two of them to be matched.
Malcolm does not stop his pursuit of Selina, who, aided by Julia's machinations, continues to present as his perfect woman.
The following day, a guilt-ridden Julia tries another scheme to reunite Malcolm and Selina but is dissuaded by Ossery, who confesses he has fallen in love with her.
Filming began in March 2021 in Ireland, with Zawe Ashton, Theo James and Ashley Park joining the cast.
In the United States and Canada, the film made $1 million over the four-day Independence Day weekend, finishing seventh.
The critical consensus reads, "Mr. Malcolm's List references countless Regency romps without particularly distinguishing itself from the pack, but it gently entertains as a diversely-cast ode to Jane Austen's works.
