My Response: If you like period films, The Duchess is a can't miss movie. The British talent that is combined here is second to none, especially the cast. Keira Knightley has been looking for an opportunity to showcase her acting skills, and this is her chance to shine. She's been building up her resume with films like Atonement and Sense and Sensibility, and this film should be her best chance for an Oscar nod so far. See it, unless you're not big on period films.
