Plot

After Princess Diana's death in 1997, Queen Elizabeth II is slow to respond to the public's grief, and the new prime minister Tony Blair tries to guide her.

Sinekatalog’s take

Stephen Frears's sharp, humane drama imagines the royal family's week after Diana's death. Helen Mirren is superb, and the film is both a witty character study and a thoughtful look at duty and public feeling.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
