Mesmerizing

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2007)

What can I add that the majority of the other reviewers on this board have not said. Mirren WAS the queen....exactly. What a great movie. Entertaining, exciting and moving. A great tribute to humanitarian Diana and a rare glimpse into the stately Queen. What a picture. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors all were superb, but kudos, especially to Mirren and to the actor playing Tony Blair. I did not really get a true characterization of the pomposity of Charles; the actor who portrayed him, I feel, was miscast. All in all, however, this is a must see piece of entertainment. You will really understand the Queen of England, and perhaps, if she saw this, and I bet she did, she understands herself a bit better.
