StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

adonis98-743-186503 Diana the 'People's Princess' has died in a car accident in Paris. The Queen and her family decide that for the best, they should remain hidden behind the closed doors of Balmoral Castle. The heartbroken public do not understand and request that the Queen comforts her people. This also puts pressure on newly elected Tony Blair, who constantly tries to convince the monarchy to address the public. The Queen boasts a terrific cast but that ain't enough when the movie is broken and just painfully silly and really really boring to so many different places. (0/10)

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.

Kingslaay The Queen made a promising start but as time went on and each event or milestone was portrayed it lost its film appeal. It felt more like a BBC documentary special rather than a feature film. Ironically the use of archive footage from the news stations acted to affirm that idea. As tension mounts later in the film over the Crown's inaction the second half seems more like a chore than a film to enjoy. The beauty that lies in historical films is how the film delivers the finish or result even though you already knew the outcome.The acting was first class and probably the strongest aspect of the film. Helen Mirren was very worthy of her best actress win as one never doubts that she is the queen and Michael Sheen did an excellent job as Prime Minister Tony Blair. The Queen is worth a watch but one shouldn't have high expectations. 7/10

Nuno Cunha I really enjoyed the movie, and usually I'm not a big fan of this kind of movies, given the poor action scenes and the small unroll of the actions. Despite this fact, I believe the movie is great: it represents two very distinct parts of England (the royalty and more conservative way, and the recent and progressive way of dealing with a fainting one), it allow us to see some beautiful landscapes of England (and apparently Scotland); the pressure of the media, as being one of the most powerful tool to both influence the queen's behavior and to transmit current events; Tony Blair dealing with his commitments to the people and dealing with the royalty. That being said, some less positive things about the movie are important of referencing: After reading some comments and reflecting on the movie, I must agree with some comments regarding the fact that the movie does look like a way of justifying the queen's behavior. I don't remember the tragic event of 1997 (I was 4 years old at the time), but after watching this movie I can perfectly accept the queen's behavior. Another thing I didn't understand about the movie was the deer scene. I didn't understand what it was meant to be, and the fact she tries to protect the deer in one scene, but then she congratulated the deer's hunter, which was confusing to me. In conclusion, I think it's a movie worth of seeing.
