Not queen of accuracy


Mary Queen of Scots (2018)

Directed by Josie Rourke this film based on real events stars Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie. During the reign of Elizabeth I both England and Scotland face succession crisis surrounding the Scottish queen Mary.

Taking a fascinating historical period this is a pretty interesting film but gets a little caught up at times in imposing modern views on sex on the story. Despite historical inaccuracies this is still a good look at two women trying to hold onto power in an era completely dominated by men. Worth watching but be prepared to take elements with a pinch of salt.

3/5
