Review:

An entertaining romp which leaves you feeling good. Ralph Fiennes is excellent as a bluff duke, 
reckon he might get an Oscar, and Kiera Knightley is good, she does have a fascinating face 
especially in profile, odd outline and a mix of ugly and beautiful. This means she is good for the 
movies because we see a face huge, and a little uncertainty keeps us looking. You don't feel the past 
in this costume drama, it's just a place to have fun.
