Queen Keira

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2010)

Although another movie with Keira Knightley and Donald Sutherland, which was a period piece, was something I didn't like that much. Especially because I thought that the only saving grace of the movie was Donald S., with Keira not being up to the (acting) challenge. Well this movie proves me wrong (to myself).
Keira is really great in this movie. She pulls off her role quite well. And it doesn't even matter who her screen-"partner" is, she is always on top of her game. The story is told quite nicely and even the bit players are great. If you are into period dramas, you will love this anyway, but even for people who haven't watched that many, are going to have an eventful watch. As an extra bonus (if you want to call it that), the movie is based on real events.
