Review of The Duchess (2008) by Kimberlyw. — 09 Nov 2008
Loved the movie. It carried the important element of a strong, talented woman constrained by her time (and her mother.) The book is even better. "Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire" by Amanda Foreman.
If you read the book and watch the movie, you get a great flavor for history and politics. Georgiana was a very important political figure, which the movie suggests, but cannot thoroughly explore. Still, the movie was very worth seeing.
Excellent acting. I didn't think someone could make me like and understand the Duke. Ralph Fiennes made me understand him, and come close to liking him - or at least pitying him.
