Bonus points for the picture, bonus points for the soundtrack, and the script drags down the overall production. The plot is flat as water, Georgiana's fashion, social skills, and political skills are almost unconvincing. Judging from the performance of the film, it is not so much to praise her personal charm as to pursue the title of "duchess". The extramarital affair was also handled sloppily, but fortunately the part about giving away the children gave Keira Knightley some acting skills. Although the background of the era can be inferred from the dialogue, it is almost not reflected in substance, which makes the Whig party's election become a tasteless existence in the film. Perhaps the film was originally ambitious, intending to show Georgiana's ability and charm from multiple angles, but what the audience actually remembered in the end was the emotional entanglement between several protagonists.
