The Queen - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

We all have heard about the tension between the royal family and Princess Di after her divorce and up to her death and now as this film examines,even after her death.
My only issue with the film is that it took awhile to grab your attention as the problems of the royals cannot be related to by us commoners.Then however the fine acting takes hold and you slowly begin to care.Thats why I had to take 1 and 1/2 stars off.The film was released in 2006 and runs 103 minutes.    Helen Mirren as The Queen and Michael Sheen as Tony Blair head a superior cast in a film intertwined with newsreel footage as well as the filmmakers.Recommended if you will devote the time and enjoy historical drama.
