Title: Not history as we know it
Review: This film is beautifully produced, and Blanchett's performance--as well as those of other major cast members--is fine. However, the lack of historical accuracy in the film made it hard for me to watch--especially after having seen the brilliant Glenda Jackson mini-series. Surely there is more than enough accurate historical material on Elizabth I's life and times to obviate the need for so much invention or omission.
