Review of Mrs Brown (1997) by Rick L — 18 Apr 2008
Connolly does well as Brown - he still sounds more Govan than the Highlands - but it's Dench that touches the heart as the Queen emerging from her widowhood. This is the role for which she should have got the Oscar. (There's a nice touch that connects with another film, the actresses who play Dench's Victorian ladies-in- waiting in Mrs Brown, also turn up as Dench's Elizabethan ladies -in-waiting in Shakespeare in Love).
Nice supporting roles include Anthony Sher as Disraeli and Geoffrey Palmer as Ponsonby.
