Strikes me as Cliff’s notes on Henry VIII vs. The Boleyn Family: an emotionless by-the-numbers survey of Anne’s rise and fall, the dissolution of Henry and subsequently England’s ties to Rome, and the ruination of the Boleyn family, check, check, check and check. And the usual tease-all, show-nothing, bee stung, deer in the headlights character work of Scarlett Johansson; see also Match Point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, He’s Just Not That Into You, etc. Empty but strangely satisfying, like a Twinkie.
