3 January 2019: I will admit to not being too excited about seeing Mary, Queen of Scots, which has gotten solid, if not glowing reviews. But I like Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie quite a bit (loved both Lady Bird and I, Tonya last year!) so, when Amy and I were talking about a movie to see today, we went with this one.
And it was actually pretty good, especially the acting. (The history? No surprises: it's simplified in lots of places and just imagined in others, but that's basically expected, right?)
Long review short: it's an intriguing, well-acted, and visually interesting movie about two complicated women with (some) (limited/tenuous) power forced to make difficult decisions. They make very different decisions and neither gets exactly what she wants. That alone makes it worth seeing.
