  • Reviews

    "This is indeed historical drama for anyone whose idea of history is back issues of Vogue, but "Elizabeth" wants more. What with the religious conflicts raging around her, the Virgin Mary as an ultimate role model and the burden of keeping so many scheming advisers at bay, this Elizabeth is presented as a glamorously stressed-out modern woman who must cope with a super-intense case of having it all." - Janet Maslin, The New York Times.

    "Australian actress Cate Blanchett has a passionate fire and wit that command attention. Think of Princess Diana when British screenwriter Michael Hirst and Delhi-born director Shekhar Kapur show a girl forced into womanhood by the duties of royalty." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.

    "As seen through the fresh eyes of an Indian director, Shekhar Kapur, "Elizabeth is not a light "Masterpiece Theater production, but one steeped in rich, saturated colors and emotions. The texture of the film is enough to recommend it, even apart from the story." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
