All for the affection of the King of England.

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2008)

Two sisters, Anne(Natalie Portman)and Mary Boleyn(Scarlett Johansson),with quite different personalities are pushed by their Father and Uncle to advance the family's position by competing for the affections of King Henry(Eric Bana). A ruthless rivalry will ensue with Mary becoming the King's mistress and giving him two illegitimate children. Anne would connive her way to the throne and as Queen of England would give Henry the heir he so demanded...but it was girl. Anne's ultimate prize cost her her head. The Boleyn sisters would each leave their lasting impression on a country temporarily torn apart. Excellent photography and scenery. The cast also features: David Morrissey, Kristin Scott Thomas, Mark Rylance, Ana Torrent and Jim Sturgess.
