A great performance by the Cate Blanchett.

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 1999)

Cate Blanchett rocked in the role of Elizabeth. She had one of the most convincing and powerful presences I have ever seen on screen. The film was pretty dark, which took a bit away from the overall experience. I liked the scenes with her and Joseph Fiennes, of the magnificent "Shakespeare In Love." His eyes are so intense, he's a perfect match for her. This is one of the best films of the year.
