Title: Mannered, made up mishmash
Review: This movie tells the story of young Elizabeth Tudor, well, at least a girl bearing her name and dressing up in costumes. The movie is filled with errors, flaws and lies. Just the costumes alone are wrong btw. They're not from 1558, actually we see costumes from the 17th century here. A horrible mish mash, Elizabeth never wore gowns like this, the only right one is the last one. Then the "palaces" which are not Elizabethan but old CHURCHES! The story itself is so changed that anyone who knows Elizabeth Tudor's true story must be appalled. True, "Young Bess" also altered the young Queen's story but they didn't present a trashy, tacky, sex- and blood-ridden "thriller" that never took place like this. Elizabeth's true story was exciting enough. Buy "Elizabeth R." with Glenda Jackson instead, she portrays the cunning, ruthless and complex Elizabeth we know from history, not a weeping, silly cry-baby.
