This film was thoroughly enjoyable, the choice of Actors & Actresses and the roles they played really did the film justice.
The Duchess was a fantastic movie, well played by Keira Knightley. Very touching storyline, one actually has a lot of symathy for the role that Keira plays. I would recommend this movie to those who enjoy period dramas and those who liked Pride and Prejudice.
