If you loved Philomena, try The Queen
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Stephen Frears, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Philomena, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Queen is
Buckingham Palace, autumn, a formal tea set. The Royal family grieves in private, the public demands a show of mourning, a prime minister intervenes. This film is a subtle study of a monarch's duty.
