Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Duchess is clearly Knightley's movie, ultimately rising or falling on her performance. She's up to the task, capturing both the charm and grace that made Georgiana so captivating.

rotten:
It's disturbingly shallow, focused so tightly on one woman's feelings of repression and loneliness that it lacks any perspective on their causes.

fresh:
It chronicles the saga of a vibrant and forward-thinking woman hampered by the constraints of a rigid society.
