Plot Recruited by their socially ambitious father and uncle, the two Boleyn sisters, Anne (Portman) and Mary (Johansson), are encouraged to woo King Henry VIII (Bana). Thrust into life at court, a terrible rivalry unfolds as the two battle for the king’s affection.
Verdict A rather titillating take on a racy historical novel, this is perhaps too ambitious in intent. More time, or more pruning (perhaps they should just have focused on The Boleyn girl), would have produced a richer and more enjoyable film.
