Deberah Cosart

This movie was more pornographic than historic. I was shell shocked by the amount of lurid sex and filthy language which just never let up. It wasn’t a little risqué or naughty. It was repugnant. Beautiful sets, costumes, and photography don’t make up for that. Even the characters to whom we might be sympathetic were ruthlessly ambitious and treacherous. The rest were just weak and spiteful.
