classicsoncall What I'd like to know is what really, really went on behind the closed doors of Buckingham Castle following the death of Princess Diana. I think the movie probably got a lot of it right. If one followed the history of Diana and her fairy tale wedding to Prince Charles, then you surely were aware of the aftermath when the marriage fell apart and the 'former' Princess took on humanitarian causes and quite inadvertently embarrassed the Royal Family with her post-marital associations. The positive reviewers for this film found a nobility in Queen Elizabeth's (Helen Mirren) attempt to stay above the public fray during the week following Diana's death, but for others, like myself, I can't imagine how she and the rest of The Royals so misjudged the public mood with their tone deaf response. All of this is brought forth successfully by the picture, as well as the ameliorating effect the new Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) had on Elizabeth after a number of head butts against a wall of Royal bashers. Of course, the press took to their usual voyeuristic initiative to paint a grim picture of the Royal Family, eventually leading to some acquiescence on the part of The Queen. In her role, Helen Mirren is quite extraordinary, quite deserving of the 2007 Best Actress recognition, though I question whether the film makers selected a proper title for this film. In many respects, it plays more like 'The Queen's Tantrum'.

studioAT Am I missing something here? For all the awards this film won, and the amount of press it gained at the time of its release I sat down to watch it expecting something special.I was wrong. This film is slow, biased, and lacking in any sort of enjoyable qualities.There was so much fuss about Helen Mirren's striking accurate portrayal of The Queen and Michael Sheen's version of Tony Blair, but having seen both I'm still waiting to see what all the fuss was about.I did not enjoy this film. I thought it was poor.

rufkdlk don't think this movie holds up very well over time, as it pretty much is about the events of the death of Diana, the former HRH, I'm not sure it does Charles justice to paint him as a more sympathetic figure than dear old mom, given what he did or didn't do to Princess Di in life. I thought Dame Helen Mirren did the best she could with the same pincurl wig they used on Emma Thompson in Saving Mr Banks. James Cromwell seemed miscast as Prince Philip and I'm not sure why there was no Anne, the Princess Royal, given she got married the second time in Balmoral. The star is certainly Michael Sheen as Tony Blair, as I saw him once in NYC and almost addressed him as the PM himself. That said, the best thing in Stephen Frears direction were the aerial shots of the Scottish moors, as well as Her Majesty's one on one with a prized stag.
