Template For Rapid Family Implosion: Greed

Rating: 7/10 (20 April 2019)

(Flash Review)
It becomes painful watching bad decision after bad decision get made as a happy family chases greed and status. The King of England is tired of waiting for his wife to provide him with a male heir. This family with two daughters, strategizes a way to 'help' the King in hopes of gaining immeasurable wealth and increased family standing. The father maneuvers his eldest daughter, Anne, into the eyes of the King yet she is quickly overlooked by her sister, Mary, who is already married. The mother clearly disapproves this plan. As the family elders reach for more status, even the brother is set up to be married to a woman he does not like. Will this this strategy tear the family apart? Will Anne exact revenge on her sister? Will the Queen flex her muscles at the King's immoral actions? Lots of twisted drama and obvious life lessons to be learned. There are an abundance of shots with decorative fencing in the foreground and the movie lacks bold and bright colors; perhaps hinting at a fancy prison world? The cinematography was professionally done and the acting was solid. I couldn't believe this was a true story.
