Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
A classy romantic cocktail distinguished by its tart yet breezy bite.

Variety -
A sexy, good-looking political bodice-ripper with an almost flawless cast at the top of its game.

L.A. Weekly -
Stuck for years playing young women who are the idealized object of male desire (Portman and Johansson)-- flaw-free and, in Johansson's case, barely conscious -- they come alive in The Other Boleyn Girl, as if being bound up in costumer Sandy Powell's exquisite gowns has freed them from the tighter constraints of their own beauty.

Austin Chronicle -
Works both as an engagingly sordid meditation on protofeminism and contemporized sisterhood set in a time and a place where either/or were grounds for, at the very least, defenestration.

Chicago Tribune -
Eric Bana doesn’t have much to do as Henry VIII except play the monarch as an overgrown spoiled brat. He is, however, awfully nice to look at.
