While I cannot highly recommend this film, it does have it's strengths: a very fine cast, enriching music, lush set design, and gorgeous costumes. For me, the beautiful land of England and Scotland was a character unto itself. Other reviewers have pointed out several historical inaccuracies, and I would agree. One lovely scene which appealed to the viewer's empathy about the complexities of women actually never occurred in history. In some scenes, the writing was poignant and telling, but other scenarios were drawn out.
I felt the makeup for Robbie (as Queen Elizabeth) was rigorously good... her nose appeared real. On a minor tech note, Mary actually had hazel brown eyes, rather than blue, and contact lenses would have made her appearance more accurate. That said, I did like the very natural makeup for this character.
