Helen Mirren is magnificent

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2006)

Helen Mirren is truly a wonderful actress and portrayed the Queen in a full, complete fashion. Although the movie brought painful memories of Diana's death and even some tears to my eyes, it was a great movie.
The actor portraying Tony Blair was right on target. He may not be as attractive as Mr. Blair, but he's close. And he portrayed the dilemma in advising the Queen to speak to the public about Diana.
James Cromwell was solid as Prince Philip and Alex Jennings was right on target as Charles. However, the woman that portrayed the Queen Mother was less than enjoyable. Everything I've ever read has indicated that she was very sympathetic to Diana All in all, a good film. And Helen Mirren should be nominated and win an Oscar. Even though she 'cleaned up' at the Emmy's, she should get the acknowledgement for this movie.
