Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said, “This in an enjoyable movie with an entertaining angle on a hard-to-resist period of history … Portman’s performance, which shows a range and depth unlike anything she’s done before, is the No. 1 element that tips The Other Boleyn Girl in the direction of a recommendation … [She] won’t get the credit she deserves for this, simply because the movie isn’t substantial enough to warrant proper attention.”
