Elizabeth Ratings & Reviews
- Noah Austin BrooksJune 27, 2025I have a strong feeling that Elizabeth (1998) will soon be recognized as one of the greatest films of its time. As discussions unfold and new audiences discover its brilliance, we can anticipate a renewed appreciation for its storytelling and performances.
- StairwaytothestarsSeptember 19, 2025A personal tale of triumph by a queen who's refusal to be ruled by her counsel for personal gain.This is the people's Queen ELIZABETH who denied to hide in the gallows of self-righteousness but instead chose to sit proudly on her compassionate throne with her own royal agenda.The exquisite Cate Blanchett gives a performance only fit for a queen!
