Our Take

"Cate Blanchett is enthralling whether she’s channeling Bob Dylan or putting on airs as a 16th-century English regent. Here, she reinvigorates her triumphant 1998 turn as the Virgin Queen, this time facing down a political conspiracy. Clive Owen pops up, too, as cocky explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, while the lamentably under-sung Samantha Morton breathes prideful fire into her imprisoned Mary, Queen of Scots.>"
