Elizabeth Ratings & Reviews

  • StairwaytothestarsSeptember 19, 2025
    A 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!
