“Marriage is dangerous.”

Being Queen...nah, not today.

I couldn’t help but see this film as a quasi public service announcement. The message being, the life of a Queen, just plain sucks (well maybe, except for the WIG selection). Josie Rourke’s two hour and four minute directorial debut is based on the untold TRUE story of the relationship between Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan) and Queen Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie).
