After sitting through a slew of Tudor-centric productions, I got this from Netflix hoping for an alternate point of view. So I was dismayed in no small measure when half of this production turned out to be yet another version of the Elizabeth Show. Not surprisingly, the picture focuses on the power struggles between Mary (Vanessa Redgrave) and Elizabeth (Glenda Jackson). Unfortunately, most of the drama is Shakespeare boring without being Shakespeare brilliant. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
