The Other Boleyn Girl Review

+about. Two sisters contend for the affection of King Henry VIII. imdb//trailer//official

+my opinion. Quite a disturbing plotline, but pulled off really well nevertheless. Even sadder to think its all based on a true story. Natalie Portman was absolutely amazing. I think it was a little too targeted at history buffs, as I was a little lost throughout parts of the film - it wasn't always explained the clearest. I liked the ending though, with the introduction of Queen Elizabeth, even if I didn't entirely understand it (why she got to be Queen).

+recommendation. Definitely more for people interested in history.

+quote of the movie. "Our daughters are being traded like cattle for the advancement of men." - Lady Elizabeth.
