Mary Queen of Scots

Entertaining, well-acted

Even if the final 10 minutes are quite compelling, the rest of the movie isn't much more than a elaborately costumed tawdry melodrama.

HORRIBLE!! Cast was awful! Use more Scottish people or English not people that do not fit into the history! Ridiculous! Musician was suppose to be Italian!! I am half Italian. Couldn't they get someone British thats Italian by ancestry with the Scottish ancestry? Gets me annoyed. I love history especially European and British history and I watch period films like most people who love history like I do. Be authentic with the cast!

Soairse is Fantastic! Love Margo but really think that Soirse was the the one who shone through. really cool to see this story play out! love the history and he performances really brought the magnitude to the front of what took place! Well done!

If you like strongly scripted and well-acted period dramas then this is for you. Ronan and Robbie are excellent well supported by Martin Compston and Jack Lowden

A movie that is takes many liberties with the historical content that was not needed. All the actors did a good job with the source material that they were given and the movie does a good job with the similarities and differences between the two female leads characters.

Similar to my feelings towards "The Duchess (Kiera Knightly)". It's a great historical story. It is well acted. But it is deathly dull. Some really interesting themes and it is truly appalling how women were treated in those days. But, ultimately I didn't care. I just wanted the film to end. I mean obviously I didn't want to see the Queen of Scots decapitated. But you can see where I'm coming from.

I loved Saoirse and Margot's portrayal of both women. The film requires patience but, especially as a woman myself, I think it leaves you with a remarkable sense of community with other women.

The great actors can't make up for the untrue and uncomfortable take on history.

I enjoyed this one and the story it told about the battle among the Scots for the throne and alliance with England, especially between Mary & her brother & her cousin Elizabeth on the throne. Great cast helped deliver the story along with the time period and locations, even if not historically correct
