A review by CinemaSerf
Written by CinemaSerf on 2024-06-12
Two films that feature Helen Mirren as the eponymous English queen. I found the first to be the more interesting as it uses her relationship with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (Jeremy Irons) as the conduit for turbulent times of her reign when she has to consider a marriage with the Duke of Anjoue (Jérémie Covillault) whilst her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots (Barbara Flynn) was the source of malevolent rumours and plots, and thereafter her nation faced the threat of the Spanish Armada. The second focusses more on her supposed relationship with his adopted son, the Earl of Essex (Hugh Dancy)...read the rest
