When I watch these kind of period dramas, I am really glad I live in the present. Havent read the book, so I am not sure if this does justice to it. Movie itself is not great but good of course. I am sure there must be more to some scenes in the book or when these actually happened. Like the romance between Grey and G could have been written more thoroughly, the reason why I am saying this is that we only see them together, before they kiss and admit to their feeling, twice and nothing on as to why Bess would fall the Duke (I questioned throughout why she would want to love the guy). So as a viewer I did not care as I was supposed to their tragedy but it was sad indeed, I felt very bad for G while I wanted to kill the Duke. Overall it was good but not a 8 or 9 for sure. Keira Knightley is as splendid as ever tho.
