Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for people who like their sci-fi with a brain-teaser in it and fans of a good revenge story. Expect to replay a few scenes in your head afterwards. Same wavelength as Help! or My Girl. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone, mind-bending.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Queen Elizabeth I visits late 1970s England to find a depressing landscape where life has changed since her time.
