The Queen

Dame Helen Mirren's performance in "The Queen" is getting the kind of universal raves that recall Charlize Theron's award-sweeping turn in 2003's "Monster" - nearly every critic agrees that it's the best performance of 2006. As Queen Elizabeth II, Mirren supplies a subtlety and grace to Stephen Frears's film that makes its analysis of British culture during the turmoil of Princess Diana's death simultaneously heartfelt and explosive. The film's co-stars have received terrific reviews as well, particularly Michael Sheen's performance as Tony Blair. "The Queen" has picked up a slew of Golden Globe nominations including Best Picture - Drama.
