Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Allows us to understand just how heavy the crown really sits.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
27 Oct 2006
fresh:
In good times and bad, for good or ill, she is the public face of her nation. Mirren, Frears and Morgan let us see just how much a burden that mask has been.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,
3 Nov 2006
fresh:
With its lavish imagery and elegant writing, The Queen is a majestic film, and Mirren is the heir apparent to be crowned best actress of the year.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
22 Nov 2006
fresh:
Both [Michael Sheen and Helen Mirren] understand the prickly push-and-pull that defines the fight -- the Gray Monarch v. the Great Modernizer -- and give quiet gravitas to the polite but firm standoffs.
– Joshua Rothkopf,
Time Out New York,
3 Feb 2007
fresh:
A lesser director might make all of this deadly earnest, but Frears treats it as what you might call a tragi-comedy of manners, perfectly serious but human foibles everywhere.
