Reader reunites Daldry with his The Hours screenwriter, David Hare, and the two collaborate on another aloof, literary period picture. The action transitions between 1995 and 1958, when 15-year-old Michael Berg (David Kross) first comes under the spell of Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet), the stern but attentive woman who paid him a bit of kindness after the boy was felled by Scarlet Fever. Their kinky relationship is fueled by carnal and intellectual curiosity. read the full review | |

The Duchess is an Oscar-worthy film. Now, they may be technical Oscars. It's too soon to catapult Saul Dibb's exquisite period biopic into the Best Picture race, what with 20 or 30 award-hungry competitors left to screen over the next three months. But you can book Dibb's handsome picture for the craft categories -- costume, art direction, makeup, and set design. And if there's any justice in this industry, Duchess will score nods for Rachel Portman's elegant score and for leading lady Keira Knightley, who delivers the most mature, versatile, and devastating performance of her young career (can you believe she's only 23?)

 | | The Duchess (Blu-ray) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | | The Duchess - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Robert M. Barga - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/14/2009 4:23 PM | | The Duchess is a movie about love, a movie about revenge, a movie about control, and a movie about Britain in its golden era. It is a character study, a love story, and a time-piece. Really, The Duchess, has no idea what type of story it wants to be. Keira Knightley plays Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire, a populist, Whig Party-supporting, fashion icon that would put Caroline Kennedy to shame. Dominic Cooper plays Sir. Charles Grey, her long-time love interest and the future Prime Minister (Whig) of Britain. Ralph Fiennes plays the Duke of Devonshire, Georgiana’s husband and the political leader of the Whig Party. The cast is rounded out with Hayley Atwell (Bess Foster), Simon McBurney (Charles Fox), and Charlotte Rampling (Lady Spencer). read the full review | |
