Did you people see the same film I saw?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

To resume, Keira plays the free-spirited wife of a royal and we should be moved by the injustices she endures ? Sorry but no way for me : for sure, as movies are done by privileged people, some of them can face hard times and maybe that class is interested and praises such movie ! but myself, as a worker and a citizen in a so-called democracy, i just don't give a s...t to the cries of the upper class ! This movie has the value to get into splendid houses and manors to understand their way of life : they have so much rooms for free and servants, maids to answer all their needs while having an really easy idle life that really i just don't care if they are happy or not ! With such privileges, they should be helpful giving hands instead of hypocritical lessons givers ! So this movie really left me cold and i'm a bit tired to see Keira as an aristocrat crying in period movies. But at least, England knows how to look back at its past because in France, i don't see movies about that time !

Boy, did this gal ever have it coming at her from all directions.. the royal (pita) husband.. mom.. and then finally her 'best friend.' Then she has to go pick someone not just to jump-bones.. but has to go and fall in love with a guy's got no resources..(and ya know what she's going to have to deal with the hubby). This was a strange societal structure for a long time.. everyone knew exactly what's happening (too many prying eyes to avoid). He's boinking whoever he wants.. while she's totally stuck in the loveless union. Oh well, the boyfriend eventually does become PM. Ya couldn't dream it up any juicier. All the actors do a fairly decent job, and I do so like KK, although in this role was just not feelin it. Her acting skills never in question, just she would not have been the first choice as 'G'.. The Dutchess.

a beautiful film. not great or remarkable. only beautiful. for costumes and correct acting. for the light to dark rooms of period. for the flavor of Anna Karenina. and for the atmosphere before the storm. a movie like a jewel from 18 century. more complex than a nice adaptation of a book, almost fascinating for the science of Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes to explore theirs roles possibilities, special for performance of Charlotte Rampling and for the air of portrait of a life. a movie like a drop of perfume. noble, seductive, charming. and a different tool for discover the past in a profound way.that is all. a beautiful film about a special universe and remarkable force of a woman to be herself .

After reading Amanda Foreman's biography about Georgiana, I immediately watched the movie. The costumes and settings were breathtakingly beautiful. The entire cast play their roles perfectly, and Keira and Ralph's portrayals of Geirgiana and William moved me greatly. The part that moved me the most was when Gee gave up Eliza. Most of this movie has depressing moments like when Gee gave up Eliza or when Gee reunited with the children. I will warn that this movie has some historical inaccuracies, but overall this movie is one of the greatest historical drama's I have ever seen. It is also one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. I highly recommend this movie for period movie lovers.
