I mean I don't personally like a lot of things she did (treating Mary and Catherine so badley and such). But I just noticed this is the first portrayal of her not to come off as a complete home-wrecker. lol. If it's accurate that's nice to know I guess.

I agree with you. It just feel more balanced somehow. Although lengthy and a bit ponderous, this is probably the best film for people interested in Anne. The Other Boleyn Girl (either version) fictionalises the story too much, and The Six Wives of Henry VIII (although Keith Michell is brilliant and superior to Burton in AOTTD) feels a bit unbalanced when it comes to Anne's story. And the cockney version with Ray Winstone is even more unbalanced. Genevieve Bujold however in this film is perfect - she looks the part, has great costumes, and her character feels like a real person, with all the faults a real person has.
Btw I run a website in tribute to Gary Bond, who played Mark Smeaton in this film. There's a section of images of Gary's work in the film on there if anyone's interested.

"Good light"?, I'd say it practically pushes sainthood! Frankly, I find the film very inaccurate historically, and it's clearly written to portray Anne as this noble heroine.
As one who considers Catherine of Aragon the real heroine, I really don't care for this film.
You could always try "The Other Boleyn Girl". They manage to do a complete character assassination on Anne which should be enough to keep you happy.
God send me wel to kepe

read anything on the matter by Alison weir.
anne was not as much a bewitching bitch we were grown up being taught. he was an elitist asswhole who thought only of his dick.
