A chronicle of the life of 18th-century aristocrat Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who was reviled for her extravagant political and personal life.
Beautifully photographed and staged period drama with a well selected cast may a bit short in conveying its protagonists' motives, but does succeed in emphasizing their tragedy.
Maltin**1/2: "Knightley is well cast as Georgiana Spencer...Vivid, well-appointed yet somewhat heavy-handed adaptation...Knightley and especially Fiennes are excellent but the film lacks a certain spark."
