Oscar Worthy in Every Sense

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2000)

This movie is absolutely amazing! Cate Blanchett portrays an intense battle of a young woman struggling with the new role of Queen, an old lover she can't live with or without and an entourage of men waiting to entrap her. The passion each actor displays in their role makes this movie much more than words being acted out, but a transport in time to what this situation could actually have been like had we all been a fly on the treason stricken walls. The lack of Shakespearean verse prevents the audience from getting tripped up or bored with the dialogue. In every aspect of the film, from the exceptional acting to the phenomenal soundtrack, this movie is Oscar worthy in every way.
