Entertainment Reviews:
With its strong emphasis on institutionalized sexism, Rourke’s film feels well suited to the #MeToo moment, contrasting Mary and Elizabeth’s far different strategies for maintaining what each believed to be her God-given legacy.
Variety
Rating: 2/5 --
I wish I could summon an ounce of enthusiasm for this film: it seems like a lot of effort was put into realising this 400-something year old tale. It is just too bad that it feels every bit its age.

Rating: 3/5 --
A traditional and essentially conservative biopic that your mum might like if The Favourite is too weird.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, what does your movie show? Historical inaccuracies, an overstuffed story and a director not in the know.

Unfortunately, too much time is spent on luridness which gives this historical drama a feeling more akin to the naughty Showtime series The Tudors.

Creative Screenwriting
In spite of being handcuffed by uninspired storytelling, [Ronan and Robbie] excel in communicating strength, vulnerability and isolation as two monarchs ruling in a man's world.

3 stars out of 5 -- Debut director Josie Rourke sets her handsomely styled feminist melodrama off at a reckless gallop, as Ronan’s rebellious teen Mary Stuart returns to claim her Scottish throne, discovering that Elizabeth’s political and military power threatens everything.

Product Description:
Scottish queen Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan) fights to reclaim the throne from her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie), who rules over England and Ireland. At first attempting to ally herself with another strong female leader, Mary becomes enemies with Elizabeth as they make different decisions in order to govern their people and maintain power in a world still controlled by men. After Mary produces an heir and incites a rebellion, Elizabeth unleashes her wrath on her romantic and political rival. Directed by Josie Rourke. Based on the book "Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart."
