The year is 2011, pop icon Madonna has released her film W.E. about the "Greatest Love Story of the 20th Century," between Wallace Simpson (Andrea Riseborough) and King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy). This honor may be debatable considering he was a disgraced king and she was a nazi-sympathizer. No matter. This film has another romance set in 1998 between a despondent housewife (Abbie Cornish) and a sexy security guard (Oscar Isaac). This movie features style, auctions, historical inaccuracies, gorgeous gowns and Oscar Isaac doing a sultry Russian accent. Is this film royally misunderstood? Or should it abdicate itself back to Obscurity?
