Irrespective of your royalist or political leanings, one thing is sure; there are many surprises and delights in Stephen Frears' insightful, affecting and wonderfully entertaining film.
The Queen is a superbly crafted and sensitive work that illuminates recent history through the intimacies of its characters; unquestionably one of the best, most satisfying films of 2006.
