The Duchess

by Saul Dibb

This has been done before and done much better. What is the motivation of these characters? The romance between Georgiana and Grey was stilted. I felt little sympathies for the characters. Why was G so popular? What about her disgrace? In the end, I just didn’t care. In a movie like this, there should be someone to root for. I didn’t care if the lovers hooked up because I didn’t feel anything between them.

I like Keira Knightley, historical films, and classic romance stories. This film had potential, but there was obviously a need to fit in too much information and not enough time to do it in. Bring true emotion in to this film… let the viewer marinate in it, and you have a great film.

Well acted. Beautifully set. Wonderful costumes. Poor direction. No heart.
