Helen Mirren earned an Oscar which she very much deserved as the Queen of England. So many actors deserved Oscar nominations it's hard to pick just a couple. Michael Sheen, for instance, who's establishe dhimself already as one of the best actors in business. James Cromwell an...( read more)
Pretty good. Michael Sheen is the real stand-out for me, playing Tony Blair. Though Helen Mirren is wonderful as always.
Both Mirren and Sheen give brilliant performances in this fine portrayal of the royal family surrounding the death of Princess Diana. A great film.
The Queen is one of those movies that screams Oscar. Of course that doesn't always mean that it's good. The Queen is solid entertainment, and along the way you might learn a thing or two about U.K. law and tradition that's interesting enough. But at times it also feels a bit like...( read more)
Helen Mirren is the queen of this movie, however I wished Judi Dench would have recieve the Oscar for her role in Notes on a scandal instead of Helen Mirren for her role in The Queen.
Awesome acting. while the entire movie is just talking I did watch this movie with full attention. Good movie but I wouldn't recommend it for just anyone.
I was actually expecting this to be terrible despite the rave reviews and Oscar nominations. The president of my university's film club had been on the set and I saw a physical copy of the script (the cover was ripped off, but I could still tell what it was). Anyway, the script r...( read more)
(2006 Director: Stephen Frears) Good reviews on this one! An awful lot of I suppose truth is the word I am looking for--in this movie.
Helen Mirren does a wonderful job as Queen Elizabeth II. Casting is well done except for Prince Charles and Sylvia Syms(lovely actress)who is far too large of a person to play the queens mother but in all fairness anyone would be seeing as how tiny the queens mother was at that a...( read more)
This is absolutely one of my favorite films of 2006 (after Little Miss Sunshine, Babel, Half Nelson, United 93, The Departed, Children of Men and The Pursuit of Happyness, of course). Helen Mirren's tour-de-force performance and Michael Sheen's true charm as Tony Blair drive this...( read more)
"One heck of a dame makes one hell of a queen." Yes, indeed Helen Mirren puts on the performance of a life time in this bold but ultimately flawed film. It seem the actors got little leadership from the film's mostly TV director Stephen Frears. Many times the cast doesn't seem to...( read more)
The film is focused entirely on the period of Princess Diana's death and the period upto the funeral a week later. In common with most people from the UK that is something that is very much etched in the memory, so the film does very little in terms of information. I can certainl...( read more)
I must admit, halfway through the movie I fell asleep. DO NOT watch this movie after a long day at work. It has the same feel as a documentary. I will watch the whole movie again - the cast was very well picked, the whole concept was perfect. Nothing wrong with it. Just DON'...( read more)
It was okay, I guess. Not mindblowing. Certainly would be more interesting if you care what the royals are up to.
The tragic Days around the death of Princess Diana of wales. This Story provides a behind the walls look at what may have been happening during those days. Her Majesty is always ON! She appears to be always gracious! Some of the other members of the family. . Different Story!
LETTERBOX. Sumamente bien hecha y matizada a tono con sus sujetos, pero no puede ocultar del todo que se trata de gente poco interesante y banal. / Extremely well made and nuanced according to its subjects, but can't completely hide the fact that these are not very interesting an...( read more)
Once you get your head round the fact that this is not a comedy, you realise it?s a brutally honest portrayal of the turn of events that week in 1997. The acting was top notch! I do wonder if the whole thing with the stag happened though, where did that come from? Hilarious!
It's a very slow movie, but Helen Mirren is phenomenal! James Cromwell and Michael Sheen are very good also.
An outstanding and very elegant biographical portrait, accurate to the facts. Helen Mirren is amazing (again) and her character is very believable and remarkable. An excellent movie for the year. Well deserved Academy Award.
72/100
This is a story About the relationship between the Queen of England and Tony Blair after the death of Princess Diana. Instead of the saying God Save The Queen, it should be Tony Saved the Queen, that is if this is a true story. The actor who played Tony Blair was outstanding alon...( read more)
boring for me but ok for others i guess if they like anything like that
Was ok,but not interesting enough because my mum fell asleep at the cinema watching it.
An interesting movie about the queen of England during the tragic death of Princess Diana. You get to see how the British royal family and the British Prime Minister handle the crisis.
was expecting a boring documentary movie...It was not. This takes you through what happened in the palace when princesess Diana died
This is one of the most important films so far this year. It brings back the great sadness of the death of Princess Diana in such a powerful way. I remember the day the Princess of Wales died in that terrible car accident, I was young but it is a moment in time that will stick wi...( read more)
a great film, less a documentary about a period of pop-culture history, and more a film about dealing with a death in the family, coping with grief, and uncertainty in changing times.
Well, you can never do any wrong with Helen Mirren. Just watching her was amazing - she truely became Queen Elizabeth II. The way the story is told is another mark of brilliance. The audience gets a well-rounded view of the situation without any bias, as well as an inside look on...( read more)
