It’s a watchable piece of faux history, but the movie does not know what to do with its own heroine, content to leave her to the clutches of its villain: Henry.
yeah, i don’t think i’m going to be a fan of this one.
#i mean i know it's just one review; but...#that is literally everything i hate#a push to dissociate every wife of henry from...henry#which. you can't really credibly do? they were married to him#it's my possible entirely most unpopular opinion ever but i do believe all of them did WANT to marry him#they weren't the one in pursuit; that wasn't how the 'game' went#but i believe each was a decision made by them#which does not = 'they were all uninhibitedly in love with him' which is how that is always taken for some reason#i mean without reservation? i don't think any of them were. but he wasn't either .#certainly not without limits#it's also just boring. it's fucking boringggg. there is simply no flavor#as horrible as the kh depiction was in like the tudors it was so much more compelling to watch her with agency#than like idk. whatever mid shit worsley's docuseries put it#bcus it made it feel all the more gut-wrenching when she lost it#same with the depiction of AB's for all its flaws even#and why the kparr and js arcs were the most fucking boring .#firebrand 2023
