Watchable, and surprising.

Rating: 7/10 (16 April 2007)

Another film I caught up with on the plane was The Queen. To be honest, I really only watched it because I wanted to see what the whole buzz with Helen Mirren was. What I got out of it though, was much more. I actually enjoyed it, and I thought it was surprising. To start with, Helen Mirren deserved every single praise she got. Her performance was classic. She was absolutely stunning, and gave an amazing performance. To follow on, supporting cast also did fabulous. Everybody did very well in the film.
The way the film was made was very emotional, and touched me. I learnt a lot also, which is always good. I loved the real footage, and the direction of the film was great. It wasn't an amazing movie though, but yet again, it isn't exactly my type of film. Overall, Helen Mirren is the best bit of the film. 7/10
