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
