Tagline: The only thing that could come between these sisters... is a kingdom.
IMDb Plot Summary: A sumptuous and sensual tale of intrigue, romance and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in European history: two beautiful sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, driven by their family's blind ambition, compete for the love of the handsome and passionate King Henry VIII.
A Quick Review: As a fan of the tudor period, and having read the book long before the film was made I was expecting more from it. Unfortunately the film didn’t live up to the book, but for those that haven’t read it, it is still an interesting look at Henry VIII and how he changed England forever for just one woman.
Score: 6/10
