I went to an early screening at WIF. Amazing visuals, sets and costumes. Who doesn’t love a good period piece? Keira Knightly gives a very powerful performance as the title character. The movie has gotten a lot of press around the fact that princess Diana was related to the Duchess. There are some definite parallels between theirs lives.
I like seeing strong women on screen. There’s a very dysfunctional female friendship in the movie and some really powerful moments. I’m curious to see how it does in the box office and how it does come Oscar time. I have to say Keira Knightly has own me over. I don’t think she was ever given a part that was somewhat risky and edgy like this.
I got to meet the author of the book the film was based and the Q&A was fascinating. This movie would have been so different if they had gotten some of the actresses they had approached... And we also left with a goody bag full or make-up and other swag!
