About this movie

Mary Queen of Scots explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Academy Award® nominee Saoirse Ronan). Queen of France at 16, widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry and instead returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. By birth, she also has a rival claim to the throne of Elizabeth I (Academy Award® nominee Margot Robbie), who rules as the Queen of England. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth's sovereignty. Rivals in power and in love, the two Queens make very different choices about marriage and children. Betrayal, rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens–driving them apart, as each woman experiences the bitter cost of power.

Ratings and reviews

This biopic does not nesscarily respect Christian Faith and turns it into something bad which is a big no no. Also apparently it has inaccuracies as well. I had to skip it at different times but saw enough of it. However it does tell quite a story that can keep you on toes of history at times, and I love the costume design and makeup and hairstyling. It has a beautiful score/theme score as well. It is beautifully shot too. 3 and half out of 5.

Brittle, disappointing, not worth the money. The women come across as cold with no emotions. There is no real passion. It's just flat. Margot Robbie is totally wrong as Elizabeth. The real Elizabeth I was a very engaging person whose charisma was legendary. You see none of that in this film.

A work of art. Very-welled detailed
