Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) by Gayle B — 13 Feb 2015

The scene where she stares into the camera, tears streaming as she holds a baby is seared into my memory along with Clive Owens weird body language meant to convey how wonderfully devil may care he is to contrast with poor Elizabeth who can never have an adventurous life or give birth.

Merely condemned to be the most powerful woman in England and have her name stamped on an entire age. Not only is this film foul because of its condescending attitude toward Elizabeth, but it just runs rough shod over vast amounts of time and cares nothing for historical accuracy.
