8/10

Even The Footballer did a decent job Forget about historical records and accuracy or Henry VIII architecture, their buildings look like they are in the BC XI. I wont give it 10 because is full of historical inaccuracies, if this was a Russian film they would say it is disinformation and propaganda..., as a work of fiction it works, the cast is great every one here does great acting i can´t say who was better, if it was Ecclestone or Kate Blanchet; like most of the movies before the XXI century a cast full of stars was a guarantee of a good movie.
