The Duchess
It is the story of the Duchess of Devonshire after the bustling life of the 18th century. The Duchess is an aristocrat who is involved in a failed marriage and must face many personal conflicts, such as her life with her husband's mistress and the love of a young political man. She looks like an extraordinary woman amidst a range of traditions, social norms and world protocols. Maybe that girl might pay for it.

The Duchess doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is: a comfortable, low-calorie morsel of historical drama.

Everything you'd expect it to be: a well-acted British period piece with lavish attention to period detail, about discontented characters in a royal family. And that's about it.

The Duchess is clearly Knightley's movie, ultimately rising or falling on her performance. She's up to the task, capturing both the charm and grace that made Georgiana so captivating.

Knightley and Cooper don't ever generate much in the way of chemistry.

Keira wears a series of gorgeous frocks and runs through her full repertoire of smirks and simpers... But if you can look past the dresses and the sullen lips, then you have to admit that [she] delivers another solid performance.

At its simplest, it's a gorgeous film with beautiful period costumes and intricate set designs. However, something tells me that's not the level director Saul Dibb wanted to achieve greatest on.

There's something really special about Kiera Knightly in these period pieces.

a refreshing look at British royalty, and it will curb your want to be part of that era, age and societal level

Fiennes, an actor who disappears into roles like ice in a teacup, makes the Duke a complex and almost sympathetic figure, a bulky, unappealing man whose interests are in all the wrong things.

It chronicles the saga of a vibrant and forward-thinking woman hampered by the constraints of a rigid society.

This is a wonderful film.

It's disturbingly shallow, focused so tightly on one woman's feelings of repression and loneliness that it lacks any perspective on their causes.
