New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
The Queen is the most reverent irreverent comedy imaginable. Or maybe it's the most irreverent reverent comedy. Either way, it's a small masterpiece.

The New York Times - Manohla Dargis
A sublimely nimble evisceration of that cult of celebrity known as the British royal family.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Helen Mirren's allure lies not in finding what's regal in every woman she plays, but in finding what's womanly in every royal.

Newsweek - Unnamed
Marvelous, and surprisingly intimate.

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
A fascinating mix of high-minded gossip and historical perspective, examines the clash of values -- of ritual and traditions versus media savvy and political ambition -- that leads to a crisis for the British monarchy.
