Trivia
Jude Law wore a scent that smelled like "blood, fecal matter, and sweat" while performing his role of Henry VIII. "I thought it would have a great impact if I smelt awful", he said at a Cannes Film Festival press conference.

Goofs
Katherine Parr was not arrested in the presence of the king, nor was she dragged off to a dungeon. The warrant for her arrest was dropped, and found by a loyal servant, who brought it straight to her. Katherine completely lost her composure at seeing the king's signature on the document, and began to cry and scream. Henry heard her, and sent a servant to see what was the matter. When he found out, he sent word for her not to worry, and received her the next day. Katherine had learned her lesson; she was submissive and humble to Henry from then on, and he remanded her arrest warrant. Ultimately, her life was saved by his death.

Wants to be grim but really isn't

Some positive notes: Alicia Vikander is amazing, costume design is great and it's visually stunning.

I don't mind historical inaccuracies. I do care about boring movies. How could it be so boring? The cast is amazing! The costumes are great, the acting is wonderful and the colors are beautiful. Yet, I watched a lot at my watch halfway in.

But, I don't know why, it fails to really entertain. It's not really a thrilling or grim movie but I have a feeling it was supposed to be. Also because it lacks emotion. That's because of the script and not because of Jude Law and Alicia Vikander.

Should you go see this? I'm not sure.
