Train wreck. Pure and simple. This is one messed up film. Fantastic performances, namely Natalie Portman, but overall, it's a sad piece of historical fiction. Sick, sad people doing awful things to each other, and expecting to find great happiness. Ha! Beautiful to look at, but overall, it wasn't easy to watch. The jumping about in time became confusing, as it seemed less time had passed than had really passed. It felt like a pastiche of events, threaded together rather thinly, and without much care. Not a great film at all, but certainly some shining performances and wonderful production values.

Side Note: Found out while watching that Peter Morgan, the screenwriter, and I share a birthday... Cool. He wrote The Queen and Frost/Nixon.
