Review: The Duchess

The Duchess

---The Good---
The Costume Design is excellent, and it
delivers pretty well in most
technical aspects. Dominic Cooper is the film's
last hope for any sort of good;
he delivers a well-timed and thoughtful
performance.

---The Bad---
Keira Knightley once again
slipped into her all-present corset for this
movie. She delivers a
been-there-done-that performance that could've been done
by a baby
chimpanzee, and to be honest with you, she is quite bland. Ralph
Fiennes
isn't much better. I am certain that this is the worst performance of
his
so-far faultless career. The direction is lazy, the script cheesy, soap
opera-ish and unoriginal, and the whole thing really is quite boring.

---The Ugly---
