I was super scared

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2007)

The first 10 seconds really scared me. I was sitting, thinking that this was going to be a raw made-for-TV movie. Really. But that was soon quashed. The actor who played Tony Blair was fantastic. Such confidence. Such poise. And if that isn't the best performance of the year by Helen Miran than I don't know what is. She was amazing the way she gave the Queen depth and humanity. I am in awe for this movie. Understated and beautiful. Not sadistic. Not over the top. But rendered in such a way that made one think, yes, it could be this way. Completely authentic. I would see this again because I'm afraid all the nuances were lost on me. Brits are kinda pop culture crazy, are they not?
