It's 1869, England and Scotland are going at it like a couple of rivalrous siblings. Mary is the Queen of Scotland. Elizabeth is on the English thrown. Talk about formidable foes.
Their struggles for power are all the more daunting because they are women in a men's world.
Margot Robbie is an excellent Elizabeth. Saoirse Ronan is her upstart nemesis. We all know the off-with-her-head ending. It's getting there that his beautiful costume drama is supposed to unravel. Alas, it doesn't. Maybe if she cracked open a history book, the Movie Slut would have understood all the twists and turns.
But should she really have to do homework before visiting the multiplex?
