Elizabeth: A Portrait in Part(s) - FILM REVIEW
"Are we gazing at a true heroine? Or an enabling figurehead who sat astride the sins of empire? The answer may be both, but the perception that undergirds every shot of the film is the majestic reality that Elizabeth did not choose to be queen. It’s the role she was born into, the way that each of us is born into the role of our lives. “Elizabeth: A Portrait in Part(s)” shows you how she grew into that role, occupying and defining it with literally every move she made, lending it a quality that may come naturally, but not automatically. One is tempted to call it grace." - Owen Gleiberman, variety.com
