Yes, Helen Mirren is a good actress but she's not good enough at age 75 to play the part of a 33 year old Catherine (the Seductress). Costumes were great. The story was okay but not really enough about all she did to become Great. She was responsible for promoting the Arts, women's rights, along with increasing the land area of Russia. This movie makes her more of a over sexed monarch than a monarch who enjoyed male company.
