An intimate behind the scenes glimpse at the interaction between HM Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Tony Blair during their struggle, following the death of Diana, to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public's demand for an overt display of mourning. Starring Helen Mirren, Helen McCrory, James Cromwell, Michael Sheen, Sylvia Syms. Directed by Stephen Frears. It is intelligent, hilariously funny and, ultimately, rather moving. The Observer.
