Synopsis
MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart. Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. But Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth 1. Each young Queen beholds her "sister" in fear and fascination. Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth's sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones - and change the course of history.

samNov 27, 2018Not terrible, but releasing this movie while The Favourite is still in theaters is a bit like trying to put out a new Airport sequel two weeks after Airplane!
Matt SingerFeb 17, 2019was it really that necessary for margot to look like a pennywise/queen of hearts lovechild?? *googles elizabeth l of england* oh ok

men are a disease
katieNov 16, 2018The great pleasure of historical biopics often lies in their visceral power to remind us that history is always personal for those who make it. From the Middle Ages to our first walk on the Moon — from Jesus of Nazareth to Freddie of Kensington — even the most mythic…

Beautiful movie with many true points out of the lives of Elisabeth I and Mary Stuart. Heartbreaking ending though
zxki dislikedMary Queen of ScotsIt's pointless and I'll list reasons to why. The actors are great but the casting is terrible. The pace tells us nothing but the same, for the entire runtime. I don't expect 100% historical accuracy but this is set in a completely different universe. You could learn more by looking at the results…
moonela lovedMary Queen of ScotsLa única referencia que tengo a medias de Mariía es Reign, y apenas voy por su 2da temporada. Esta película me tiene fascinada, escenarios, historias, feminismo y machismo, que si le quitas el hecho de que son reinas, es la historia de dos mujeres en un mundo de hombres
- Yesenia likedMary Queen of Scots
I felt bad for Elizabeth not historically accurate but the fact that Mary’s son goes on to rule both England and Scotland anyway makes her pushing it seems upsetting bc of all those awful men she had to marry(both actors ate)
TheGreatJRW likedMary Queen of ScotsEin historisches Drama mit sicherlich moderneren Einflüssen, die den Plot auch heute gut aussehen lassen. Besonders hervorgehoben werden muss die Leistung von Saoirse Ronan als Mary und Margot Robbie als Elisabeth.
Quinn Rivers is "meh" onMary Queen of Scots6/10. I can’t decide to “meh” or “like” this movie. The acting saves the movie. The storyline feels all over the place—slow at times and fast at others, with random cuts to the other’s perspective.

Two brilliant actresses. They were the best part of the movie for sure. Great historical retelling, a story of the burden that comes with power and being a woman in a world of men.
Isabel lovedMary Queen of ScotsI know, I know their meeting is not historically accurate, but it was a moving moment in the film and I wouldn't want to miss it!
Elis is "meh" onMary Queen of ScotsThe costumes and scenography are very nice, I also praise the camerawork and editing, but in the end I didn't like the movie.

Great performances all around. The sets and costumes where exquisite and the setting was gorgeous. Instead of pitting one queen against the other as I expected they decided to make it about how evil men are. The concept of men was the villain of the piece. There was mainly…
FAFrancisco Jose AscencioSaoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie (for how little screentime she had,) were fantastic. I knew the history but, man, some of the events were tough to watch. Enjoyed seeing it brought to life on the big screen.
MMMary MeroneyI was blown away by this movie. I’m a sucker for historical dramas. It’s an accurate depiction of how life was back then from the costumes and makeup to the accents and language used. It’s such an inspiring movie, great story line. Hats off to Mary and Elizabeth!! The…

The best movie about these two that I've ever seen. Absolutely superb acting and detail. While I don't know the historical accuracy of the finer details, it kept true to the heart of their story.

Ronan is good (as usual) as the spirited and rather haughty Mary, making the most of what, to be fair, is the plum role.

In real life, Mary and Elizabeth never met, but this film, directed by Josie Rourke and written by Beau Willimon, stages numerous interactions, many of them accompanied by flaring nostrils.
