I have not read any reviews yet, other than Rogers. But yours is a fine place to start.

Until seeing “The Queen,” I’d forgotten how righteously anti-Monarchist Labor was – or at least with Blair’s generation is. Hostile” come to mind. Thus, seeing Tony transformed into a respectful co-player reveals a kind of Baptism by fire.

It’s not as though the Royals aren’t used to being diplomats. It’s just that the world of celebrity and their media saturated ways of her then much younger people caught the Queen so unaware. THIS is what’s the astonishing and dramatic pleasure in Frears and Morgan’s film.

Perhaps we could call it a time-capsule account of “the Californiacation” of the Monarchy?
