The Queen
A remarkable examination of both the Crown and the culture that surrounds it.
Everything about The Queen falls into place 'œas discreetly as a perfectly served English high tea,' said Dana Stevens in Slate.com. Though the critics fell hard for Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II, her performance is just one facet of this impeccable film, which peers inside Windsor Castle during the days following the death of Princess Diana. Director Stephen Frears balances affection and distance in his 'œscone-dry critique of the rising culture of confession and celebrity.'
