The Queen


Synopsis

The Queen is an intimate behind the scenes glimpse at the interaction between HM Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Tony Blair during their struggle, following the death of Diana, to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public’s demand for an overt display of mourning.

Reviews

Thanks to Sheen’s deft performance and that always insightful script, the PM emerges as more than an opportunist… Blair (superbly played by Michael Sheen) understands the British populace in a way that the Queen does not… Michael Sheen is, like Mirren, a dead-ringer for the real deal
