Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e quase ninguém melhora o filme, as cenas são mais ou menos, mas a atuação da Helen mirren salvou o filme.

Nominated for a Best picture at the Academy Awards. A very strange subject. It's a film about that time when the UK ground to a standstill because a famous character in a soap opera passed away in one of the more memorable episodes. I'm not sure a film re-imagining the other character's reactions to a soap opera event makes for interesting or worthwhile viewing. Saw it on DVD.

Despite some of the world-building exposition being on-the-nose, it is a fully-actualized character journey

Got to love watching movies about the British monarchy for English

Released in 2006, The Queen is a Stephen Frears film following the British Royal Family's very public reaction (and initial lack thereof) to the death of Princess Diana in 1997. It was a significant hit at the box-office and earned Helen Mirren, who plays Elizabeth II, an Academy Award. Set in 1997, the film focuses on the Royal Family and their butting of heads with the press as well as the public during the aftermath of Diana's shocking death. Soon after the tragic event, Elizabeth II finds herself, and her family, who were vacationing in Scotland at the time of the accident, under pressure to grieve publicly rather than in private. The Queen is portrayed as wanting to follow traditional protocol but protecting the Crown becomes increasingly difficult as she starts being perceived as heartless and unfazed by the death of Diana, whom she was famously not terribly fond of prior to her passing due to her relationship with Prince Charles falling apart. As members of the Royal Family and newly elected Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) step in, Elizabeth II is put into a situation where she might just need to bend the rules a little in order to appease the public. By having the film be set at that particular point in time, Stephen Frears attempts to succinctly convey what the Royals are all about through a relatively recent event many of us remember in the hope, perhaps, of peeling off a layer of mystery from the Queen and the people close to her. The idea being to try and paint a picture of human beings reacting to a tragic event rather than distant celebrities with alien lifestyles who have no interest in interacting with their fans. This focused approach makes the film very easy to follow and puts the lead performances themselves on a pedestal, which was certainly a wise move. Indeed, Helen Mirren does an excellent job at portraying Elizabeth II, bringing nuance and emotion to her initially frosty demeanor. The rest of the cast, however, fails to convince quite as much for varying reasons but mostly because casting for biopics is incredibly difficult. Documentary really is the superior biographical tool when it comes to movies for that very reason (and others as well), one would argue. Though the film does tell its story well, it lacks the punch that the director was looking for. Elizabeth II's encounter with an animal who is later, she finds out, killed was partly designed to make us feel for the monarch but there is just not enough there to work with. Frears and his cast humanizes this Royal Family as much as they could but most of that does just come off as fantastical elaborations rather than a sincere portrayal of real people going through real emotions. In the same way that The King's Speech was both a competent, enjoyable film but also ultimately unfulfilling so does The Queen impress in some ways but overall come up short in the drama department. Perhaps going the Citizen Kane route of making a film about a real person but fictionalizing their story through a made-up character might have made for a more interesting film. As it stands, The Queen is a perfectly serviceable biopic. It is better than many, in fact, and those interested in the topic explored in the film should enjoy it fine on the whole. Anyone looking for something a little more substantial may find themselves forgetting most of this one pretty quickly and seeking out fuller, less artificial takes on these, admittedly, interesting events.​ Fair.

This movie made me want to cry. Bro is deepening it.

With an exceptional cast and the ability to tell the story well, this movie gives us an idea of what the real-life Queen would have experienced during what was probably the most challenging time in her entire reign as Queen.

Helen Mirren is amazing.

The best acting performances from Helen Mirren and Michael Sheen! With the best movie screenplay ever written!

One of my favourite actress, Dame Helen Lydia Mirren DBE portrays the Queen II with excellent performance...

Really excellent portrayal of what most people thought the Queen, etc were saying and doing at the time of Princess Di's death. It was an incredibly sad time that many of us remember, including the shock of the lack of response from the Queen

Left me feeling uninspired at the end, despite the good acting and beautiful scenery. Touches on serious issues, but doesn't go deep enough. Left me feeling apathetic about the characters.

Brilliantly acted glimpse of Elizabeth II's portrait and mindset. During two weeks of crisis, where Queen's stature got challenged by the people. Unfortunately it's just that - a glimpse. Sure, it was the intention, considering how contemporary the events are. But no matter how good the dialogue is, it still feels lacking.

Solid historical drama which provides a snapshot of the royal family after Diana's death and explores the Queen's relationship with her public, the institution of the monarchy, and her newly elected PM. Mirren, Cromwell, and Sheen turned in some admirably authentic performances but the best choice for me was Frear's decision to creatively cut in actual footage of the late Princess Diana instead of casting another in that role.

Excellent script and superb acting showcase the royal house in a modern time of crisis. Everything about this film works. My only complaint was it felt a bit short and I was hoping for more. 8/10

The performances in The Queen feel so realistic that it's easy to believe this is actually how events and conversations unfolded. Of course, this film is a fictionalized account, but it shows a different perspective of Princess Diana's death that makes you feel both sympathetic and aggravated at all parties at some point. This is a subtle and well-crafted drama.

Decent watch, but it's Helen Mirren's performance that stands out as possibly her best.

Realistic, emotional, extremely thought provoking ,full of pathos,& beautifully acted.... It made me value & respect the Queen & see things from her point of view,what a tough life she has had, borne with dedication & dignity, a very special lady indeed...

This drama was pretty good. Helen Mirren, Michael Sheen, James Cromwell, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. This true story about the death of Princess Diana and how the royal family should handle it was pretty dramatic and tragic. This was a time of mourning for the whole country and the royal family didn't want it to be a public affair, so they decided handle it by protocol, but the public found that insulting. In the end, Queen Elizabeth did the right thing not just for the people but for Diana. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you'll probably enjoy it. That's my opinion.

this movie is so fucking boring and kind of confusing. England is stupid.
