Mary Stuart’s failed attempt to overthrow her cousin Elizabeth I, the Queen of England, which led to years of imprisonment before she ultimately faced execution.


Saoirse and Margot are back in the hunt for an Oscar

I honestly wonder if they’re actually going to show the gritty, brutal details of her execution... it was a total mess...

It looks great, regardless of any historical inaccuracies.

It looks pretty rough at first glance. A bit too much drama, honestly, and kind of a bore. It’s just a lose-lose situation for me.

I honestly wish they’d gone with an actress who looked a bit more rugged
I mean... Margot Robbie playing Elizabeth I? Yeah, right... dream on 🙂
But whatever... let's face it, it's probably not like anyone would actually pay to see this thing anyway

Good grief!
It’s like watching some filler programming on ABC or USA Network, designed solely to occupy the airwaves between commercial breaks. In this case, you just have actors and random scenes thrown in to pad out the gaps between the blatant political propaganda...
Every ten minutes—and I mean literally every ten minutes—they do it. It’s just checking boxes. Check...
All those anachronistic, propagandist segments have absolutely nothing to do with the actual plot; they don't add anything at all...
That's why the movie is practically unwatchable...
It bears zero resemblance to actual history...
At times, the directing is just pathetic. Even as a layman, I can see right through it...

I won't go into a detailed breakdown of specific moments because it wouldn't be "politically correct"—or rather, it would be far too vulgar for a forum like this, considering the language I'd actually have to use...
The whole thing is in your face, so anyone who sits through the film will see exactly what's happening...

And honestly, I only went to see it because of the lead actress...
The state of modern production is just mind-boggling today...
It’s getting harder and harder to find a decent, normal movie anywhere...

There are only three comments on this film here, and nobody has bothered to type a single word in over two and a half years. I suppose that serves as some sort of indicator regarding the quality, doesn't it? 😁

Honestly, I only sat through the whole thing because of Margot Robbie... I wasn't even really paying attention to the plot, you know?
At least she’s incredible..

Haven't seen it
I don't really get it
But honestly? I'm kind of glad the movie flopped
Making $25 million but pulling in only 190k
That’s the direction we need to be heading
Just keep hitting them where it hurts—their wallets
If the woke crowd wants them, they can have them
Even they aren't actually watching; they're just pushing an agenda

They should just change the names, turn it into pure fiction, and shoot whatever they want... success would be guaranteed then

Just watching this on PBS right now. What a total joke of a movie—honestly. It’s just non-stop woke nonsense at every turn. Even the side characters' outfits feel way too polished and just... aggressively black for that era. And having Black and Filipino people all over the court? Please. I mean, okay, maybe those are just small stuff you can overlook.

The real issue is how much they butchered history. The main women act like they've got some 21st-century mindset while being stuck in this barbaric time period. But honestly, the biggest letdown? The plot is just plain boring.
