This movie didn't get nearly as much hype as it should have, and was highly under promoted. I hadn't even heard of this movie until I saw it on DVD, but as soon as I pressed play I feel in love.
It is hard to not be captivated by the beauty of Anne (Portman) and Mary (Johansson) Boleyn in this movie. Set in past, and about the creation of Queen Elizabeth, I am sure this movie is not all factual. Even if the movie is only HALF true, it is a great story depicting the lengths a man is willing to go, in order to "bed" a lady.
Typical to families today, this movie depicts one sister who is sweat, kind, and caring; while the other sister is manipulative, callus, and deceiving. From there, you can pretty guess the lengths that are gone to in order to fight for the King.
This movie does a poor job of depicting time. They make it seem like a 3 years journey. When, in reality, this happened over a time of 5-8 years. It's still only a minor detail as this movie was not intended to be a biography or entirely factual.
You will wonder to the end what comes of the sisters and who wins in the end.
Expert Says: 5 Stars, one of my favorites!
