Film review - Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

The movie is worth watching for Cate Blanchett alone. I admit that I might be a little bit biased because Cate is one of my favorite actresses, but I don't think this bias has gone too far. The movie depicts, with both the historical coolness and the dramatic intensity, a woman in power, and the power in a woman. The cathedrals filmed as palaces are absolutely gorgeous. So are the costumes. I have to say though, I'm not a huge fan of Clive Owen's character, which is a little bit of a cliche.
