Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for tonymedley.com (461) on 10 Oct 2007

Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

By David Noh (869) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 03 Oct 2007

It's a full-scale star performance in every sense...and I wouldn't be surprised if, like Helen Mirren last year, Blanchett walks away with…

Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for www.susangranger.com (329) on 27 Sep 2007

A historical costume drama - with far more emphasis on the 'costume' than the 'drama.' And there's no excuse for such a deafening score…

Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 24 Sep 2007

Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 11 Sep 2007

Kitsch and hysteria masquerading as art and drama: Dominated by bravura, Oscar-caliber turn from Cate Blanchett, this pageantry-fashion parade…
