shakespeare in lust
Paltrow winning the Oscar over Cate Blanchett remains one of the world's great artistic injustices. She gives an obnoxiously affected performance, but liberally shows her tits. Hence the Oscar is won in Weinstein's world.
If you compare the two performances, it's like watching a high school kid wax on versus a masterful thespian at the top of her craft.
Paltrow was sometimes a decent actress in her younger days, but her narcissism shows here, and in many of her performances. Blanchett is forceful and magnificent as the Virgin Queen.
The movie itself is OK. I personally did not enjoy it that much. It has little charm, but much pretension. Much like Paltrow's off-putting performance.
