A pedigreed romance, an excuse for Blanchett to bind herself in satin and channel Kate Hepburn.

Every shot, every costume is decadent with color, and every single twitch of Blanchett's face is imbued with meaning as she negotiates her way through her warring roles of being a woman and being a queen.
