Rich Storytelling at its Finest

The Queen is a tour-de-force investigation into the aftermath of a tragedy that shook a country. Those unfamiliar with the history of Princess Diana's death will be caught up in the bold combination of thematic ideas, incredible acting, and sharp storytelling. Helen Mirren caps an impressive career with one of her most fully bodied performances and Michael Sheen nearly matches her depth with a human portrayal of PM Blair that sidesteps caricature.
