Cate should have won the Oscar for her incredible performance as Queen Elizabeth...

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 1999)

An incredible movie from start to finish. Cate Blanchett has become one of my favorite new actresses. I want to see more of her work. She gives an Oscar-winning performance as Virgin Queen, with an outstanding supporting cast. I have seen Shakespeare In Love, and Gwyneth had nothing on Cate, once again an Oscar overlooked. Fortunately, Cate has received many awards for this performance. Geoffrey Rush is wonderful as well, he too is very powerful. This is a movie and a performance that I will remember for a long time. Congratulations, Cate for an outstanding role and great work!!!
