This has an cast full of excellent actors such as Cate Blanchett, Joesph Fiennes & Geoffrey Rush. The costumes & sets are fantastic & visually stunning helping to set the scene. It begins during Queen Mary’s rule (She is brilliantly and unexpectantly played by Kathy Burke) and has a very charged atmosphere. Mary, as a devout catholic, is persecuted those of the protestant religion including her own sister, Elizabeth. She is great danger as Mary plots to get her executed for treason. However, she fails and shortly afterwards dies leaving Elizabeth at the Queen. Still enemies & rebellion lurk and Elizabeth takes drastic measures to secure her throne. This film focuses on Elizabeth’s early life as a young woman & the events which transformed her into the Virgin Queen. The acting is superb and the tension and suspense are as good as any thriller set in the present day.
