Learned so much
I have lived in London and remember vividly when Diana died, but I still learned so much from this movie. It is very well acted.

Wonderful Movie
I enjoyed this movie. I remember exactly where I was the moment the news of Princess Diana's accident was reported on the radio. It was interesting to see the event from the Royal's point of view. I don't recommend this movie for young children, not only because they won't understand the story, but because there is a disturbing scene showing a deer hanging upside down with its head cut off -- important to the movie, but may be scary to younger children.

Helen Mirren is the Queen
The Queen won't be everyone's cup of tea, because it is a deep, complex, intelligent film; a character study rarely seen today, and thus many will find it boring. But Helen Mirren puts on an acting clinic. Her perfect, emotionless posture displayed earlier in the film allows for the slightest wrinkle of an eyebrow to mean so much emotionally. Peter Morgan's script excellently explores themes of change, loyalty and tradition. The score brilliantly honors its subject without being flashy. Michael Sheen gives a strong and unfortunately overlooked performance as Tony Blair. If you are a fan of "artsy" films, you will have a jolly good time, but if you gave Spideman 3 a 5 star rating, you aren't worthy of The Queen.

A fantastic and moving portrayal of a monarch!
This movie carries the a great story and fabulous acting, all without a lot of sex, violence, and langauge. The main thing parents might be concerned about is the mention of Diana and Charles' various affairs.

A Riveting and Intellectual Film...Watch it!
THE QUEEN is, of course, the Queen of England. The story: The Queen of England (Helen Mirren is a revelation)has to deal with new 'radical' Prime Minister Tony Blair (brilliantly played by Michael Sheen). Later she must react to Diana's death and overcome her dislike of her daughter-in-law to maintain her public image and the respect of her people.
Lanaguage is the only thing bad in this film, except for some thematic elements. It's rated PG-13 for "brief strong language" as any film that drops the F-bomb has to be. Blair's wife whispers a quick "f*ck off", and that's really the only thing bad in the movie. Your kids won't probably want to see it because of its lack of action and deliberate slow pace. But if you bring it home for family movie night, they just might walk away fufilled.
Highly reccommended.

Emotionally charged drama for ages 12 and up.
The Queen is a gripping, emotional drama that is made for adults. Not that it's very innapropriate, but that most kids will be very bored by the lack of action and the slow pace.
One instance of the f word at the very beginning is the only thing innapropriate in this film. A brief shot of a decaptitated deer carcass may disturb younger viewers as well.
So, if this movie is good for your child, he or she may be interested, but The Queen's best bet is for you.
