    History as told by The Movies. Entertaining and PC (Politically Correct) just not HC (Historically Correct).

    Great film but too many historical inaccuracies, including: 1. Mary did not have a scottish accent. She lived in France from 5-18. 2. Her assistants were not diverse (african, chinese, gay) 3. Rizzio was not gay: lord darnley was not gay 4. The 2 queens never met. But a great film nonetheless.

    Great film. But yes, some historical inaccuracy. Namely, Mary's private secretary, Italian David Rizzio, was not gay. In fact, Mary's husband at the time, Lord Darnley, is said to have been jealous of their friendship, because of rumours that he had impregnated Mary. This is why he was killed, not because the queen's counsel was anti-lgbtq. Mary did not catch her husband in bed with Rizzio - another lie, and the scene where Mary forgives Rizzio because he was only acting out what was natural to him, ie being gay, is too much made-up englightenment for this cowboy to bear. Holywood, why are you so preoccupied with lgbtq?

    Fabulous acting by both women stars, as well as the conniving men who advise them. Sets and costuming are beautiful, Scottish countryside is haunting. The story of Mary’s political hardship, even before going to Elizabeth’s court and her protection, was information I’d never heard before. Enjoyable historical drama.
