Featured Reviews

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Historical dramas aren't as popular as they were during the years when they were routinely clogging Oscar nomination lists and taking home awards, so it's a source of curiosity every time one comes out to see what concessions have been made to increase ...read the complete Other Boleyn Girl movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Guys may assume the film version of Philippa Gregory's chick-lit bestseller about two Boleyn sisters who bed Henry VIII as a way to secure the fortune of their pimp family, is a form of dude torture. ...read the complete Other Boleyn Girl movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

If Russ Meyer had made "The Other Boleyn Girl," Anne and Mary Boleyn would have yanked some hair, scratched some eyeballs, walloped each other in their respective kissers, and the ...read the complete Other Boleyn Girl movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Variety

Playing less fast and loose with history than Philippa Gregory's novel, "The Other Boleyn Girl" is a sexy, good-looking political bodice-ripper with an almost flawless cast at the top of its game. With a straight-arrow script by Peter...read the complete Other Boleyn Girl, The (2008) review at Variety

At the Movies (Margaret Pomeranz)

It�s a fairly uninspired screenplay. And the same can be said for both the Boleyn girls. They are both extremely fetching in their tight bodices but unengaging as characters....read the complete Other Boleyn Girl, The (2008) review at At the Movies (Margaret Pomeranz)

Why in the name of ermine boleros would anyone make such a dull, coy and, worst of all, pretty film about Anne Boleyn?...read the complete Other Boleyn Girl, The (2008) review at Time Out (Dave Calhoun)

Washington Post (Desson Thomson)

Unfortunately, "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "Semi-Pro" fail, even at this easy target game. And here's the real depressing part: They make you yearn for a documentary about Iraq or the health-care system....read the complete Other Boleyn Girl, The (2008) review at Washington Post (Desson Thomson)
