Leköti a figyelmedet, és nem untat, mert kíváncsi vagy, hogy mi lesz a vége. Alicia Vikander csodásan törékeny és bátor egyszerre, Jude Law pedig rendesen undorító. De a két karakter közötti központi konfliktus ebben a forgatókönyv szempontjából egyszerű kivitelezésben önmagában nem elég erős töltet ahhoz, hogy kétórás játékfilmből erőteljes és emlékezetes történelmi drámát faragjon.

I'm pretty clear about the kind of place and time in the past I would never want to live in: the bloodthirsty American Wild West and the court of Henry VIII, with all the intrigue and the paranoia, I like my peace and I really wouldn't have the nerve for that. Anyway, I've always been utterly fascinated by Henry VIII and his women, I loved watching the The Tudors, so I'm always happy to watch any film treatment of that era, and this one is very good. It's very intimate, understated, and kept me entertained the entire time, thanks to the lead acting duo of Alicia Vikander and Jude Law. We have already seen Alicia once in the great historical drama A Royal Affair; she was great there, but here she is even better, the role suits her beautifully. It's quite a turnaround for Jude, though, from a likable pretty boy to a chubby, grumpy, paranoid curmudgeon, I don't think many people will even recognize him! I must also highlight the beautiful sets and costumes, they were a feast for the eyes. I can surely recommend it for lovers of historical dramas. [Festival de Cannes 2023] (2023.05.29)
