...however, it does not linger often or long at that level. As movies like this go - stately homes constantly arustle with the sound of lingerie falling gently to the parquet floors - it is quite a lively, and even occasionally a rather touching, piece. The Duchess takes in a young woman named Bess (Hayley Atwell) who is being abused by her brutish husband. In due course, she becomes the Duke's mistress, living more or less comfortably with the Duke and Georgiana. (It is a very big house.) Georgiana also takes a lover: a rising politician, Charles Grey (Dominic Cooper...
...probed more acutely, or with a finer balance of laughter and pain, the sad human drama behind these tidy surfaces: the inability of people to connect, to see the casual cruelty they inflict on others, to come to terms with their failed illusions, to be happy. A woman's spoofy fantasies of a perfect domestic life turn into the chilling symptoms of her descent into madness in Woman in Mind.

Her husband can barely afford the gasoline it takes to get back and forth to a job he's in danger of losing - and with it, their health insurance. She's getting her hair cut less often and sometimes has to put her utility bill on her Visa. She's the woman doing...

Stern went to her state's Republican caucuses in January, listened and left without voting. She still hasn't made up her mind, though she's now leaning toward Obama. "I'm very aware of what's going on and have paid attention, but I find it really hard to be trustful of politicians in general," she says. That sentiment is echoed by Beth Seidel, a factory...
