Luke’s review published on Letterboxd:
The movie performs almost a miracle - it humanises people, who are as far removed from "normal" as I am from dating Scarlett Johansson. Yes, living in Scotland for almost 11 years of my life, I am biased against the monarchy but I wouldn't say I hate them. To me, they are a relic from the past I don't understand and yet I can see that many still find them comforting.
With its clever direction and Helen Mirren being simply royal, it is hard to say The Queen is a bad movie because it's not. It's a complex movie about a tough period of time in the UK. Bloody well done, lads.
