The Other Boleyn Girl

Who's in it? Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johannson, Eric Bana
What's it about? Two beautiful sisters driven by their family's blind ambition, compete for the love of the handsome and passionate King Henry VIII.
What type of film is it? Drama
Is it any good? This is an intense film. Stunning, intense and beautifully raw. Insatiable. It’s been a while since I’ve got as lost in a film as I did with this. There’s some casting against type going on here and that works in the film’s favour. After a few rather average films, both Natalie and Scarlett pull out sterling performances while Eric more than makes up for his lacklustre performances in films such as Hulk and Lucky You. Sexy in an old skool way.
