Virgin Queen Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Bette Davis At Her Very Best
Bette Davis plays the "good queen Bess," (as she was known by her English subjects), Elizabeth I. In my humble opinion, Davis really shined and gave the performance of the lifetime. About Elizabeth I and the close relationship with the future Sir Walter Raleigh. I know a lot about English Royalty, and the movie is pretty much historically accurate.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Richard Todd's tour de force
Regardless of what some film cirtics say on the special feautures, Richard Todd totally domiinates The Virgen Queen with charisma, talent, and subtle acting. Todd, a real life World War II hero came to attention in 1949's The Hasty Heart to universal critical acclaim. Thereafter, he turned in impressive performances in dramas like A Man Called Peter, as well as swashbuckler. In the Virgen Queen, which it really should be called Raleigh he captures the impatient cavalier perfectly. Bette Davis, who always had a habit of overacting and getting hammy is very good, but this totally Todd's film. Joan Collins also shines. Richard Todd is long overdue for recognition again!

On a sultry summer day in 1935, an upper-class British family prepares for a dinner party at their country estate. The players: Briony Tallis (newcomer Saoirse Ronan), a precocious preteen writer; her older sister, Cecilia (Keira Knightley), Cambridge graduate and femme fatale; Robbie Turner (James McEvoy), the housekeeper's mensch-y son, who carries a torch for Cecilia; and various visitors and family members. A series of misperceptions, fueled by the summer heat and Briony's childish hurts and fevered imagination, lead to a dramatic false accusation that lands Robbie in jail. We meet all three characters five years later in the thick of World War II, as foot soldier Robbie prepares for the Dunkirk evacuation and the two estranged sisters train as nurses in London.
Director Joe Wright (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE) deserves high praise for translating Ian McEwan's highly internalized, multilayered tale of guilt, redemption, and the power and limits of the artistic imagination, into a sumptuous visual feast that not only conveys the intricate plot points of the novel, but dives head-first into the emotional subtleties that make the story so wrenching. Whether any of the characters' actions are ultimately atoned for by the end of the film is a matter of perception, but Wright's sympathetic eye ensures that every player gets a fair trial. The young director ...
