The Queen Rehashes History **1/2

Rating: 5/10 (14 April 2007)

Despite the Oscar-winning performance of Helen Mirren, "The Queen" merely summarizes the events following the tragic demise of Diana.
Michael Sheen, as Tony Blair, is perfect for this part and plays the part to the hilt.
Prince Philip is made to appear as a mean uncaring individual.
The problem with Queen Elizabeth was that she thought that her actions following Diana's demise were the appropriate reactions to this tragic event.
Helen Mirren totally captures the total coldness and unpreparedness of Elizabeth in dealing with this tragedy. Her Oscar was well deserved.
