Surprisingly, as much as the ending appears at the beginning of the film, it becomes rather unexpected.

I love movies like that and the power struggle was memorable as well as the false oaths of those who said they were loyal!!

I just re-watched this for the second time. I can't describe how much I enjoyed it the second time, even more so than the first time.

Amazing score by Max Richter. Love the track "The Shores Of Scotland"

I watched it back to back part of


The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)​
Elizabeth (1998)​
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)​
Mary Queen of Scots (2018)​


I was kind of worried to see this again. It shows Queen Elizabeth like a mustache twirling villain and I didn't want to erase Cate Blanchett's performance watching these back to back. But as I said I really enjoyed it despite Margot Robbie's performance. I just consider it like a separate entity and you will enjoy Mary Stuart's story. I'm not even worried if they are historically accurate, I just enjoy them as stories exploring the human condition. (I was actually surprised how close this was to reality, I thought it was mostly fiction at first)

I will never forget the ending, Saoirse Ronan's composure and the music.

I finally got to see this movie as I unfortunately missed it in cinemas. I must say that I did like it a lot. There were a lot of powerful scenes thanks to the brilliant acting by Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie. The film is not 100 percent true to history but that's not necessarily a bad thing as most of us know what was historically passed on. So a few additions here and there do not hurt in my opinion. Overall the movie is good, has a powerful soundtrack, a beautiful cinematography and thanks to the two lead actresses the viewer is met with awesome performances.

Nice historical movie, a bit slow sometimes, but totally enjoyable. Saoirse Ronan made a great work with her performance; Margot Robbie has been wonderful as always.
Black people playing the role of british lords and asian actresses as court ladies are the big mistake of the movie. The politically correct counts more than historical facts.
An honorable mention goes to the customs, which got the nomination for Oscar 2019.

Not quite sure where to put this. If you span a period of 25 years in a two hour movie there are supposed to be gaps in the story. But it is tough to put events into a timeframe if you don't know much about the history.
I like period dramas and I am a huge fan of Saoirse who played well. As did Margot. They both carry the movie a lot. The oscar nominations are also well earned. But that's just it. It looks pretty but it's lacking in storytelling. The material would have been better for a mini series. I am not dissapointed nor do I regret watching this. I think a "7" is an honest rating. It takes into consideration the effort made to produce this movie.

Great leading ladies for a good, feminist and a little too long historical drama.

The actors are good, but the gaps in the narrative undermine their hard work. It's not a bad film, but it could have been so much more.

I was expecting more from this movie. The acting was very good but the story was boring, not as exciting as one would hope. Especially because it was too long. Great photography though.
