Review

 

Tradition prepared her. Change will define her.

In the wake of the death of Princess Diana in 1997, Queen Elizabeth II (the outstanding Helen Mirren) must come to terms with a nation in mourning, a new government under pressure to deliver an outpouring of grief and a Royal family in turmoil...

Dame Helen Mirren's stunning performance as the Queen rightly earnt her the gong for Best Actress at the 2007 Oscars.

Helen Mirren is of course superb as The Queen. An amazing performance and deserving of all the awardsshe got for it. However some of the other performances are quite honestly quite comical, the actors who played Tony Blair (with that Cheshire cat smile), and Prince Charles for example are hilarious. The audio commentary is pretty poor too. They just didn`t seem to put any heart into it. Helen Mirren was brilliant in it though and its worth watching just for her performance.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars A simple and incisive piece of filmwork

A well-made film which details the lives of the Royal Family during the time of Princess Diana's death.
Helen Mirren portrays the Queen very well and makes the 'character' extremely believable.
A good film, even if (like myself) you are not a hardcore Royalist.
