The Other Boleyn Girl' is a powerful story of manipulation and betrayal. The court of Henry the Eighth was a seductive yet dangerous place where fortunes were quickly built and easily destroyed.
If you can accept this film as drama rather than fact escaping into this Tudor world shouldn't be a problem. There is certainly too much emphasis on Waler Raleigh's pirate adventurer though I have to admit Clive Owen cut a dashing figure in the role.
