I think the performances are really good.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
[An] oversimplified, overheated mediocre melodrama.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten
[A] vulgarized portrayal of the Tudor court.
Philip Marchand, Toronto Star
Rotten
Overscored and lacking even the faintest realism of period, the movie still bears undeniable trash charms, if nothing near the deep satisfactions of such medieval nonsense as Beckett.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
