The Duchess

Yesterday i went to see The Duchess, starring Keira Knightly and Ralph Finnes. Keira's performance was worthy of all the great things that i had read about it. The film is undeniably depressing but nevertheless enjoyable. Keira's performance however was the only one that i found compelling. Though the others were good they were nothing in comparison. Though the historical inaccuracies of this film have been pointed out to me i don't really care and don't have much time for those who do. when i watch a film i care about the characters, and acting and the story, this is not to say that i don't appreciate beautiful sets and cinematography,  but i am not going to give a flying @£%& if her wig is historically accurate. that said if those are the details you are worrying about you probably aren't enjoying the film that much in the first place.

Keira is OK, but I personally prefer a woman with a bit of meat on her.
