'The Duchess' - High-Def Digest Review

[Attebery]

David has reviewed 'The Duchess.' He says this isn't a standout period piece, but it has enough going for it to keep things entertaining. The Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes is at 60%, so this one seems to be a matter of taste. This Blu-ray has good, but slightly disappointing video. Audio is fine, but never gets to stretch its legs. Extras are classy. This one is worth a look.

I had hoped to get this on but now I won't be, after having seen such low scores. I saw this in the theaters and liked it. Kiera Knightly, as expected, carried the movie and was just flawless. While it did have a slow pace, it never was boring.
What a shame though.

I want to blind buy this! I like period movies and this looks great. The movie looks to have strong performances

I don't want to discourage you from picking this up. As I say in the review, the transfer is perfectly fine, just not standout. Maybe give it a rent first to check it out for yourself.

i thought the movie was surprisingly pretty good, and i'm not a big fan of chick flicks

bd looked good from what i remember, it was the first one i watched on the new tv so my thoughts might be skewed
