The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

To say that the Boleyn Girls shaped the political landscape of Europe is an understatement. The ambitious but flawed Anne Boleyn (Natalie Portman) was instrumental in the formation of the Anglican Church of England, the makings of a great serial queen killer as well as the development of the insular England into a superpower through her daughter, Queen Elizabeth I.

With the help of her scheming father and uncle, she sought to become the Queen of England by marrying the already married King Henry VIII (Eric Bana) in the then Catholic England. Unfortunately, all their plans have come to naught and none of them benefited from this pivotal point in history. In fact, many of them lost their heads literally!

The Other Boleyn Girl is an insider's look into the intrigue of the tragic Boleyn story of lust for power. If you liked the movie "Elizabeth", you would want to see this companion piece of Tudor history based on the best selling novel by Philippa Gregory.

The Other Boleyn Girl is rated:PG-13 for mature thematic elements, sexual content and some violent images and not suitable for children.
