This is a great movie for everyone--good information about the royal family. The director picked the right Queen in Helen Mirren who made this movie worth the time and of course interesting. Watching this movie felt like witnessing the actual situation inside the castle. Absolutely, excellent direction by Stephen Frears--very good cinematography and the plot was well laid out.

Helen Mirren's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II was eerily accurate and amazing to watch!

Thought Helen Mirren did a great job but the movie was long and boring. So I didn't finish watching it. Thought they could have done so much more with what they had to work with.

Damn near fell asleep a couple of times. Haven't we all seen the "Diana" footage a million times by now? Even Helen Mirren's great acting couldn't save this movie.

Outstanding cast, surprising personalities portrayed, this is a must see movie. Prince Philip was portrayed as a grouchy, sefl-centered old man. I would not have believed this side of him. Queen Elizabeth was portrayed as close as any human could have accomplished. Charles was whitewashed to seem he was too good and not as in real life. Tony Blair was great. All in all, this was a terrific movie with a great cast.
