The Queen (Helen Mirren)

A film in which Helen plays The Queen, Elizabeth II, during the days surrounding Princess Diana's death.

I'm sure she'll give a great performance, based on the trailer (I saw it in the cinema, and it looked good). Of course its a fictionalised account, on the hand it seems a very brave film to make but on the other exploitative,

Especially since today, it is 9 years since the Princess died

I wouldn't say exploitative, look at the 9/11 films.

I'm sure it will be good as Helen Mirren is a fantastic actress. Whether I want to see it is another matter.

I may or may not see this tbh.

I thought it was funny that on the posters the rating claims '12' for one use of strong language.

Queen: Philip, get your saggy arse in here prono.

Philip: Fuck off, you old bag.

Anyone here seen this yet? The subject matter looks fairly interesting but then Helen Mirren is a fantastic actress.
