Ridiculous

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2000)

I hated this movie, not least because I hate Gwyneth Paltrow. But I digress.
This movie was slow, the majority of the acting vacuous (with the exception of Rush and Dench), and the story was average at best. Maybe I expected too much. I can't suspend my disbelief at the mockery of (maybe) a historical figure. It also completely ignores the probable homosexuality in the early modern theater.
