Ratings and reviews

Overall, this is a great period piece that stays true to Lady G's spirit& memory. I enjoy the detailed costimes& effort to recreate the 18thC world this Lady inhabited! My husband even liked it & I loved how he got upset at The Duke for being so cold& quite unloving to Lady G. Comparing this movie with historical fact, it is a fair representation w/out TOO much artistic license! The casting was nearly spot-on! (It is unlikely Lady G ever partook in a lesbian relationship/experimentation.)

I love how they portrayed the other side of the affair stories instead of oh he cheated on his wife he's a terrible person you get to see how terribly she is treated

One of the best movies, that is a true story, that I've seen in a VERY long time! ! Definitely a must see!
