The Duchess Movie Review Starring Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Hayley Atwell, Charlotte Rampling | Film Critic Tasha Robinson Reviews The Duchess

Taken in isolation from the unsatisfying story, the performances are powerful -- Knightley's vivacious, wounded romantic does a great deal to carry the film on sheer personality, while Fiennes is a subtle master at projecting banked menace through his seeming detached ennui.
