REVIEW :
Fantastically gripping, non-period, period film..., 26 July 2008
10/10
Author: [i]Gregg Araki from United KingdomThis film really, really surprised me.
Yes, it's from the director of Bullet Boy - but I'd only ever seen Saul Dibb's Line Of Beauty so I was expecting a pretty standard period piece with Keira Knightely - who I have never rated much as a credible acting talent.
Boy does she impress here - she is fantastic. The Duchess of Devonshire is the perfect character for her to play, and it's obvious Keira immersed herself in the role, and completely understood every single motivation of her character.
I recommend everyone to go and see this film!
