Okay, so I have this reputation of loving anything British/European. Naturally, I had to see this film, right? Wrong! I initially did not have any intention of watching this film at all... until it started garnering Oscar nominations. I had to see what the hype was all about so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did because it really is a unique experience. It's not every day that I watch a film about the Queen. When the credits started rolling, I knew that Helen Mirren deserved to win that Best Actress Oscar. She was stern but not unfeeling, elegant but flawed. It's difficult for most actors to find a balance between those, let alone make it seem so effortless. Very good movie.
