Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2007)

I was expecting this film to be awful when i saw it advertised a few months ago. But i was completely wrong. I was astounded by how real the film seemed and how well it had brought back the memories of the week that princess Diana had died. Hellen Mirren's performance was faultless she really became the queen-it was uncanny. She deserved the Oscar for it. Its not a bore but an amazing film and should be watched. It is cliché and cheesy at times but a lot of it you don't expect. The film makes the queen seem human rather that the icon that she is. It also captures English tradition amazingly and makes us understand the struggles of what the queen may have been going through.
