A Fantastic film from start to finish

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2005)

This film is by far the most excellent film about the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
Cate Blanchett shines in her performance as Queen Elizabeth I. She manages to portray at the beginning of the film as sense of vulnerability and by the end, totally ruthless. Every since the film came out on DVD I became a huge Cate Blanchett fan. Some very powerful scenes and very good performances from Christopher Eccleston,Geoffey Rush and Sir Richard Attenbough. A film which covers real depth and emotion of her Reign and the struggle for power. Cate Blsnchett doesn't just manage to act Elizabeth, she is Elizabeth!!
It should have won an Oscar for best film and also for best Actress in a leading role
A must see film!
