About

You’ll likely enjoy this stately period romance if you want a gentle, polished look at early royal power and relationships; Not for you if you need a deep, sweeping historical story or lots of dramatic punch, similar to The Duchess or Becoming Jane.

Pros: stunning costumes; charming romance; strong performances | Cons: shallow story; lacking depth; flimsy stakes
