DeadManWalking1 Review of The Other Boleyn Girl

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

Another cinematic vehicle for a hugely talented actress

[8/10 · 25 October 2020]

I was reading these other reviews that criticize this film for its "historical inaccuracies." This is utterly ridiculous since the movie never pretends to be a strict documentary about Anne Boleyn or Henry VIII or anyone, really. The credits even contain a very explicit waiver stating the film is a work of fiction. This is a creative retelling that freely admits it takes liberties with the historical facts in order to tell a compelling human story in a mere hour and a half. So chill out, people.
