Keira Knightley is Believable!

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2015)

The film is not your average stuffy period drama rather than based on actual events of the Duchess Georgiana of Devonshire. She married the Duke and has two daughters. The Duke needs a son for an heir to the throne. When Georgiana meets Lady Bess Foster (Hayley Atwell) ,a battered ex wife and mother of three sons in Bath, she is invited to Chatsworth. Bess, the Duke, and Duchess form an unusual trio in a very complex relationship. Bess was Georgiana's best and only true friend. The film has a remarkable cast with Ralph Fiennes as the Duke. Charlotte Rampling is wonderful as the Duchess' mother. The costumes and art direction are first rate and spared no expense in bring faithful to the eighteenth century.
