"Everyone improves the standing of their family with their daughters."
This is the story of how the Boleyn family's blind ambition caused them to sacrificed their daughters -- Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) -- to the hedonistic King Henry Tudor (Eric Bana) and produce his male heir. The intensity of their greed lead to seduction, deceit, betrayal, disgrace, tragedy, and death. And also the establishment of the Church of England.
Others in the cast include Jim Sturgess as the girls' brother, Mark Rylance and Kristin Scott Thomas as their parents, David Morrissey as their conspiring uncle, the Duke of Norfolk, Benedict Cumberbatch as Mary's husband William Carey, Oliver Coleman as Anne's husband Henry Percy, and Ana Torrent as Katherine of Aragon.
Directed by Justin Chadwick.
Run time: 1 hour, 55 minutes
Rated PG-13 for mature thematic elements, sexual content and some violent images.
My personal rating: B
