Aroview: Blue-ribbon adaptation of the best-selling novel by Philippa Gregory, which tells the compulsive true story of sisters Anne and Mary Boleyn, who viciously competed for the love of King Henry VIII.
A history lesson rife with moral treachery and juicy scandal, this real-life Royal Court melodrama is the kind that no doubt would have inspired the Bard himself. Fashioned with aplomb by the director of TV's BLEAK HOUSE, his American 'it-girls' Portman and Johansson prove to be a savvy piece of casting, giving beautifully complementary performances.

4 stars (Very Good) A captivating tale of intrigue, romance and betrayal, two sisters, Anne and Mary, are driven by their ambitious family to seduce the king of England in order to advance their position in court. The cinematography is simply breathtakingly beautiful. ~GenXGirl
2 stars (Good Try) Excepting the costumes and the quality casting of the support roles this doesn't amount to much - it often gets bogged down by its own importance. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) Loved this ~emjay
