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.

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.
Brilliant

Although I'm sure most of this film is based on speculation I thought Helen Mirren portrayed the role brilliantly - she also has a very eerie resemblence to the queen. A truely Oscar winning performance. I think a lot of people will find this film comforting as the death of Diana had such an impact and people wanted to know that the queen was affected as much as they were.
This film follows the Queen as she goes into hiding during the week after Diana's death. It is poignant, well directed and very well wriiten.
Helen Mirren depicts the Queen in such an outstanding way, she is so suited to the role, and it is quite scary at how alike she looks to the Queen!
There is also an outstanding performance from Martin Sheen as Tony Blair, who has just become Prime Minister and is doing everything in his power to convince the country that their Queen has not let them down.
This is a very well written docu-drama, which raises a few questions as to what the Royals really thought of Diana but also portrays them in a different light. Definately worth watching. Highly recommended!
