Elizabeth: The Golden Age

• Directed by Shekhar Kapur
• Starring Cate Blanchett, Clive Owen, Geoffrey Rush
• Cate Blanchett still gives a worthy performance even with a mediocre script, but no amount of wardrobes and English slurs can convince me that this Clive Owen belongs in Old England. At times, the movie feels like a Hallmark movie. You can see the actors trying to add more flavors and expand the movie beyond the misguided guide hand of the director, but as a whole, the movie disappoints. -Comment written by Dear
