An Icon of her time, Elizabeth I is an inspiring muse for many dramatists then and now; she's also a socio-political anomaly of sorts, having baffled countless advisors as her father once did. The film does a great job depicting the internal and external conflicts the young queen faced. The Tudor line may have ended with her, but her life and reign marks one of the greatest points in British (and feminist) history.
Amazing sets and costuming and an astounding cast. The film's perspective is simple in some ways, but cuts through to the heart of the solitary queen who captured the hearts of her people. Bravo!
