  Not anything to be excited about. Had it been historically accurate it would have been much better. Of course, Hollywood had to throw in the liberalism and add the gay bent. I only wnet to burn points before they expire. I would have been really upset had I paid for this lackluster waste of film.

  Performances good; historiography weak. Darnley wasn't the wimp portrayed and the breach with Mary was over sharing power not Rizzio. Darnley did Rizzio in but the pact was between Bothwell and protestant lords after Darnley's murder. Darnley and Mary were 1st cousins via Darnley's mother, a niece of Henry VIII. Darnley supplied the Stuart line to son James. James became VI because Mary was descended from James V. Story skips much drama after Bothwell's fall, when Mary escapes Loch Leven Castle with aid of-- Darnley's Douglas relatives-- and raises an army, is defeated and only then flees to 'ol Liz's fateful protection. Ahh but truth is the stranger.

  Great movie based on historical facts with a little fiction. Powerfully acted & beautifully filmed. Saiorse deserves the Oscar for Best Actress as Mary.The scene where Mary & Elizabeth meet for the first time whether its fact or fiction is dynamic!!! Two thumbs way up!!

  Torn between who gave the greater performance, Ronin or Robbie! Excellent story, cinematography and costumes. Oscar worthy film.

  Riveting plot. Intensely great acting. Captivating and thought - provoking stories of power, betrayal, and strength of history. Breathtaking sceneries of Scotland. CompIementing scores. I would give it a 5+ star if I could.
