    Helena always felt very dedicated to me, she always played some neurotic characters, and she played them well. After seeing the Borgia family, I like Holly Greene very much, so young, beautiful and cute. The movie is well done, and it feels like a novel with twists and turns. The movie has been adapted quite a lot, so be positive.
