Trashed by the critics, it was a good movie. Historically, no, it wasn't realistic. Again: Kids - this doesn't take the place of your history book. However, it did do a good job in other areas. I liked Eric Bana's acting, Natalie Portman's scheming and the beautiful innocence of Scarlet Johannson, who was the best performer. Johannson's role was of a daughter, lover, mother and pitiful sister. She played each of these roles well. Kristen Scott Thomas played the doomed first wife of Henry XIII to perfection. If you want to see an interesting take on a no-so-historically-accurate movie, see this. The sets and costumes were worth it.
