Mary Queen of Scots













Director Josie Rourke’s Mary Queen of Scots is an epic tale told badly. 
That was not an easy task, considering the movie stars two of my favorite actresses, Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie.  But, Screenwriter Beau Willimon’s lethargic script makes the story of the rivalry between cousins Queen Elizabeth of England and Queen Mary of Scotland undramatic and largely uninteresting.

It’s a shame such great acting talent should be wasted on a weak production.

Nice costumes from Alexandra Byrne, but I can only give Mary Queen of Scots a 3.1 out of 5.
