Swaddled in whalebone as good as wigs, Keira Knightley stairs in to the limited universe of the Duchess of Devonshire, the stately woman renouned with her subjects though stranded in an hapless marriage. If this incident recalls Princess Diana (a descendent of the Duchess’s family), so most the improved for the purposes of executive Saul Dibb as good as company; this film is fervent to pull parallels with the hapless Lady Di, even if she is never without delay mentioned. Knightley’s gullible lady is tied together off to the Duke (Ralph Fiennes), the dreaming jerk who craves sons, as good as patently has never suspicion of women as anything alternative than the equates to to grasp an heir. When the Duchess launches her procreative career with the integrate of daughters, well, the Duke starts to get nervous–and partners outward the matrimony turn increasingly appealing. The Duchess serves up intemperate portions of Brit-movie staples: costumes (which, in Knightley’s case, have been zero reduced of spectacular), landscapes, as good as beautiful song (by Rachel Portman). If it falls reduced in the little deceptive way, maybe it’s since the film is the often one-note affair, definition just what it seems to meant during each moment. Charlotte Rampling appears as well quickly as Knightley’s mother, as good as Dominic Cooper as good as Hayley Atwell (from Brideshead Revisited), taking flight stars both, minister tasteful lures for the principals. They infer the aged film adage: there’s the lot to be pronounced for eye candy. –Robert Horton

The Duchess might have been a critical and popular failure had it not been for 7 year-old new comer Mercy Tiffin. Already receiving major Oscar Buzz within the industry, Miss Mercy’s fan base has been exploding in both the UK and the US where only very young children have been able to really enjoy the film due to it’s pretty costumes and silly, nonsensical dialogue. A break out role for Mercy Fiennes Tiffin, she plays the Duchesses’ baby girl Lil G. and she stole scene after scene of the two scenes she was involved in.
Both Sanrio, creator of Hello Kitty, and Harajuku Lovers, Gwen Stefani’s xenophobic clothing line that pays homage to homeless Japanese kids, have offered to design Miss Fiennes-Tiffins Red Carpet gown for the big night. Good luck, Lil M.!
What’s next for Miss Mercy? She’ll be playing Pearl the Landlord alongside Will Farrell in the Big Screen version of Funny or Dies’ `The Landlord’. Can’t wait!

I’m so sorry I could’t play this DVD. You sent me a “region code 1″ item. In Holland we just can play a “region code 2″ one.

Entirely contrary to all human logic and natural morals. My wife and I were unable to finish the film due to the unending nonsense, rejection of marriage and eager abandonment of ones own children. Pure garbage, and a perfect representation of everything wrong with Hollywood and modern American “culture”.

This service was such a long & tedious one that I will never again purchase anything from amazon. It has been OVER a month & I have still yet to receive my complete order. Not only is the process so long & drawn out, amazon promises discounts yet only if it is Not involved with third party so when u think you’re actually getting a deal, in reality you are not. I might as well have purchased all of my movies from walmart, I would rather pay the difference from there than trying to rely on an unreliable service. God Bless.
