I think the film was interesting, but not great. It focused on the isolated self-centered Royals, but I thought it was equally pointed in showing how British public attitudes had descended to virtual worship of an equally self-centered party girl. Mirren was good, but her role as ER didn't demand much but a poker face. Certainly not an Oscar-grade role, IMO.
