The Duchess - 2008 - 5/10

Surprise. Keira Knightley botches another costume drama.
This time she plays 17th century Georgiana Spenser, great-great-great – you know, of the Spenser family.
Tale of lady involved in politics and scandals, helped by great costumes and location sets.
As always, Knightley is simply too modern for such a part, showing her limited range of smirks, squints and pouts.
Everyone else is quite fine, notably Ralph Fiennes and Charlotte Rampling.
To be honest, females around me enjoyed this more than I.
