The cinematography was enjoyable and it caught my attention the way the dramatic feel of the story was created with sharp cuts, intense music, dramatic lighting and a real sense of flow and motion, whether that was done by following the character in haste or by keeping the camera still and having the character zoom by.
However there was a particular cut in the film of which the timing seemed off and looked as though they were cutting to a commercial.
The movie was filled with gruesomeness, the threat of violence, and evoked a constant sense of angst throughout the viewing. This film is well worth seeing.
Here's the synopsis from http://villagecinemas.com.au/Movies/The-Other-Boleyn-Girl.htm
Based on the best selling novel by Philippa Gregory, The Other Boleyn Girl is an engrossing and sensual tale of intrigue, romance, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in history.
Two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious father and uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the King of England. Leaving behind the simplicity of country life - and what began as a bid to help their family develops into a ruthless rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the King.
As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a King - one driven by ambition, the other by true affection - England is torn apart. Despite the dramatic consequences, the Boleyn girls ultimately find strength and loyalty in each other, and they remain forever connected by their bond as sisters.
