Barely Passable as a TV Movie

Rating: 4/10 (12 March 2012)

After seeing this movie, I was struck how it reminded me of a made for TV movie. The subject was boring, the acting pedestrian and there were no great insights.
The fact that this movie garnered a number of nominations and awards in the US is a mystery that can only be explained by an unhealthy preoccupation of the academy with things British.
I will concede that the subject matter might be significantly more interesting for those native to the British Isles or those obsessed by Royalty. But to those outside of those categories, this movie offers little.
