Other Boleyn Girl, The
Kenneth TuranLike the sibling rivals whose romantic lives it lovingly details, The Other Boleyn Girl has ideas above its station. Not content to be a mildly diverting royal bodice-ripper, it spirals out of control into the kind of overwrought dramaturgy that's out of its league.
Not, of course, that there was much room for choice in how the plot went.
