: The Queen
Despite the terrific reviews I wasn’t that interested in this; who wants to watch a 90-year-old queen for two hours? But it turns out the story is a fascinating look at Britain after Princess Diana’s death, and is much more about the politics and purpose of the monarchy and the Queen’s role. At the time Britain had just elected a new prime minister, Tony Blair, who was a young kid, essentially, and he’s really at the core of the film, the buffer between the people and the Queen. Really interesting and excellently done.
