So good, it made me uncomfortable

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2007)

Just got back from seeing The Queen. Thank God the Golden Globe win got it back in theaters again. I had heard great things about it, but it only stayed in our theater about a week the first time around. I absolutely loved this movie. It gave an inside view of the British monarchy that few ever see. Helen Mirren's performance was so dead-on it made me feel as if I was eavesdropping on something I shouldn't be hearing. Her portrayal was poignant,arrogant and unforgettable. Admittedly I am a tad bit obsessive about the Royals. I named my only daughter after Diana for Christ's sake. But this film was remarkable. Helen has this one in the bag. Other Oscar nominees need not apply. I loved The Queen.
