Well acted documentary

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2006)

Went to see the preview of The Queen last night and enjoyed it very much, although I thought it dragged at times. I cannot say enough about the performance of Helen Mirren, who played the Queen. Not only was she great she also looked so much like the queen. The rest of the cast were also fine, although I was not familiar with most of the cast with the exception of James Cromwell. I though that Michael Sheen as Tony Blair did a fine job of acting in a difficult situation. The way the film worked out, it was like a newsreel with snip-its of the inside information that made up the news. A lot of newsreel footage of Diana, made you think a little. I would say that this is a movie that will be enjoyed by females in greater number than the male population.
