Elizabeth: The Golden Age debuts in theaters today and Stella from Well Above Average Blog has an exceptional review of this incredible movie that has Cate Blanchett extending her grasp and control of the role of Elizabeth I with this second feature with the same director that helped launch her into the acting stratosphere with the first movie, Elizabeth.
Stella gives you the back story for the movie and a bit more of what occured in this movie in comparison to what history was and how what was — or wasn’t presented affected the movie’s dynamics.
Of course, there are always the gorgeous costumes and some really gorge men ( excuse me but can someone wrap up Clive Owen as a Christmas gift for me? I would so appreciate that. Yes, he is so yummy) The cast is strong and well-thought out.
What is really great is that Cate Blanchett has seized control of this character and fully embodies Elizabeth yet again….. and she is the key that unlocks the movie.
Read Stella’s review — and subscribe to her blog. She’s sharp, witty and has a biting sense of humor. She’s a good person to “follow” for blogs that cover film but she covers much more than that. So make sure you check her out frequently. I do.. because she’s more than just a friend, she’s someone whose writing I respect
