Just saw this movie and it was so good; I didn't want it to end. While the story of Mary and Elizabeth has been made before; I was fascinated by this story because of the leads.
Saorsie Ronan and Margot Robbie are just terrific in the roles. The story moved along intercutting between the two queens. Ms. Ronan has the bigger role as Mary and is every inch the queen. Ms. Robbie as Elizabeth is very good, and becomes a hideous caricature of that queen as she ages. The machinations of the queens' courts and political intrigue that lead to Mary's end are fascinating. The costumes, makeup, cinematography and direction are all first rate.
