Elizabeth the Great

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2005)

Brilliant performance by Cate makes the movie, but Geoffery Rush and Joseph Fiennes provide nice supporting roles. Too bad it's really historically inaccurate, but it is still brilliant! Wonderful cinematography and costumes. The score is a bit overwrought, some of the songs are way to heavy and don't really fit, but overall the music supports the film. Joseph and Cate have wonderful on screen chemistry, and they really help convey the great love between Elizabeth and Robert Dudley. Film is highly recommended for those who love Elizabeth I and the Tudor period. Even better that this film is the Glenda Jackson,BBC series Elizabeth R.
