Of the acting performances on view, the only ones with any subtlety are Scartlett Johansson as Mary and Mark Rylance as the ambitious but weak father of the sisters. Natalie Portman is one- dimensional as Anne, and as for Eric Bana as Henry VIII – well he is very tall, as Henry himself was.
The 12 certificate is well-deserved – the film is notably prudish when it comes to sex. This is no 'Tudors' romp.
The costuming and locations etc are all very well done, as one would expect with this budget, except when we move away from court. Mary several times rides unaccompanied through countryside which looks more like the Scottish Highlands than Kent, and when naughty Anne is summoned back from exile in France she inexplicably lands on a beach. Gorgeous photography, but they did have harbours in 16th century England – though that would have cost more, I suppose.
