Movie Reviews of Elizabeth R
Movie Review: Great History
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this, it is a a true historical drama. Well researched and well acted. It lacks the elegant scenery and locals of some of the later renditions of Elizabeth and those are enjoyable to watch. They are however not as grounded in research and documentation as this version. I also enjoyed the special features very much. Acting lost a great actress when Glenda Jackson retired to be a politician. I feel her version of Elizabeth is probably as close as we can get to what she might have been like as a person and a Queen.

Glenda Jackson is majestic in the six-video miniseries from the BBC, Elizabeth R. Covering the entire reign of Elizabeth I, from her struggles with her half-sister Mary just before being crowned as queen to her death in 1603, the series profiles the life of the Virgin Queen in detail--and with historical accuracy--not possible in the as beautiful, but much shorter, theatrical release, Elizabeth. Religious conflicts, her struggle over the execution of her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, battles with Spain, court politics, and of course her flirtations with Robert Dudley (portrayed as an almost-comical fop by Robert Hardy) and her decision to remain unmarried are just some of the highlights of this magnificently costumed and finely acted piece. Jackson skillfully captures the capricious moods and incredible intellect of the queen who defied the pope and the conventions of the time as a strong-willed woman, and characters from textbooks--Sir Francis Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh, King Phillip II--come vividly to life. Elizabeth R (and for those not in the know, the "R" is for "Regina") is a splendid melding of history and entertainment, and as thorough as this series is, you will still long for more. --Jenny Brown
