"Lackluster period piece...."
The Duchess is a beautifully costumed period piece. (The hats worn by female cast are 'to die for'!) The acting is average. The cinematography has some moments but nothing to earn raves. Rather than capturing the true extravagance and notoriety of the real Duchess of Devonshire, the film gives glimpses of the life she lived. The interaction between the Duchess and her children is the best performance by Knightley in The Duchess. Overall the film lacks the power punch and emotional impact of what a period piece should deliver.
