Finally

Rating: 4/10 (27 June 2017)

I must be the last person on earth to see this movie. Saw it on Netflix and decided to jump in.
The story is established: Diana dies and the British go into more mourning than they did over the deaths of Winston Churchill or Freddie Mercury. OTOH, the Royal Family is saying "what the eff" is this all about.
Very slowly, the film follows the efforts of brand new PM Tony ("call me Tony") Blair as he tries to nudge the royals into showing some public face of grief over the tragedy.
Helen Mirren is OK I guess as the queen. Really, who can judge whether her portrayal is accurate. It's a rare Mirren movie where she leaves her clothes on, but I guess that would have been gratuitous nudity.
You want to strangle Prince Philip, so that was a good portrayal b/c that is how you were supposed to feel.
The Blair character was nauseating, but so was Blair in real life so "check" on that one.
The dogs were good.
Well, now I can say I saw it.
