Entertainment Reviews:
"Elizabeth" is superior historical soap opera that shrewdly sidesteps all the cliches of British costume drama with its bold, often modern approach.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
As seen through the fresh eyes of... Shekhar Kapur, Elizabeth is not a light Masterpiece Theater production, but one steeped in rich, saturated colors and emotions. The texture of the film is enough to recommend it, even apart from the story.

Rating: B --
More often than not, it's a watchable and thought-provoking history lesson rather than the captivating, revealing, intimate portrait it wants to be.
Looking Closer
Rating: 5/5 --
Drama of the ascendancy of England's most powerful queen brims with great acting, brilliant direction.

Rating: 4/5 --
Kapur draws the best from an outstanding cast and delivers both an atmospheric romance and a mature exploration of a big theme - the dark duplicity, betrayal, and grubby ambition that runs through Britain's bloodthirsty history.

...Cate Blanchett has a passionate fire and wit that command attention...
Rolling Stone
Kapur cunningly confuses gender roles, equates sex with death, and rattles through dark, stony passions with some considerable panache.
