Mary Queen of Scots (2018)

The years of Mary Stuart's life before she was imprisoned by Queen Elizabeth for 20 years and the long-distance rapport they built.

A slightly different historical film, which presents known historical facts (and more), dressed in a little more emotion, empathy and more realistic feelings of the two strong personalities. The film is fascinating, the feminist accents helping to highlight the reality of the historical time and the power of spirit of two women who mattered, but who had a contrasting attitude towards the limits imposed on the gender to which they belonged, each of them losing something  in their own way.

Director:  Josie Rourke    
With: Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie, Jack Lowden, Joe Alwyn

Rating: 8/10
