Compelling tale of the tragic queen -
23 February 2002
I enjoyed this film immensley but felt that Bujold was not quite fiesty enough as Anne. Burton played a blinder as Henry and the scenery and costumes are stunning. Historically some of the details are "romanticised" but the final scenes of Anne counting the number of days she has been Queen are very moving - as is the final frame and the prophecy spoken by Anne as her little daughter trudges the lonely path that was to be her life.
