Review of Mary Queen of Scots (2018) by Jluis_001 — 18 Feb 2019

I think with enough certainty that this film tried to cover more than it could sustain. It's clear that its ambition was quite great, however considering that although the story is quite interesting, its development unfortunately meets the same obstacles that period films usually have. Therefore the truth is that very few people will feel really attracted to the material.

It's true that their leading actresses manage to do a very good work, probably one of the best performances of Margot Robbie, if not the best of her career and surprisingly will go quite unnoticed.

Saoirse Ronan on the other hand maintains her level although we have seen better works from her, however, I think this film was manufactured with the idea of getting nominations in the awards season and considering that went by without making any noise, it's quite evident that its quality and above all its campaign didn't measure up.
