The drama begins in 1579 and portrays Elizabeth--daughter of Henry VIII--during her later years. It exposes the conflict between her sense of duty and the instincts of her heart, her doomed affair with the Earl of Essex, and the struggles of a powerful and independent woman battling to survive in a male-dominated world. During her reign, Elizabeth became one of England's most admired monarchs, having resisted the Spanish Armada and having reunified the nation after it was divided by religious factionalism. Her successes and popularity led to the creation of the 'Virgin Queen' legend, but this drama, for the first time, delves beyond this myth and attempts to uncover the real woman behind the crown. Review: Good Movie - True story of Queen Elizabeth Review: Impressive Portrait Of Queen Elizabeth I - A superb, intelligent, and intimate portrait of the golden age of the Virgin Queen, with the magnificent Helen Mirren as the embodiment of Elizabeth I (one of her greatest roles, in my opinion). Very reminiscent of the BBC mini-series, Elizabeth R., as it more historically accurate than any of the other Elizabeth I films and has no problem showing the complexities and intrigue of her court. It also has no problem showing the extremely gruesome details of the more tragic nature of her otherwise glorious reign.The fantastic production is full of beautiful sets, costumes, and music, witty brilliant writing and great cast that make the historical characters come alive because they are so well cast. Extras include a few "making of" and history documentaries. A must see for fans of historical or costume dramas. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000EU1M4E | | Actors | Helen Mirren, Hugh Dancy, Jeremy Irons, Patrick Malahide, Toby Jones | | Aspect Ratio | 1.77:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #207,939 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #29,673 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (639) | | Director | Tom Hooper | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo) | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 7.1 x 5.42 x 0.58 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Producers | Barney Reisz, George Faber | | Studio | Pre Play | ## Images ![Elizabeth I - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qEUNKFkHL.jpg) ![Elizabeth I - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IlFggsY-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Movie *by L***5 on February 11, 2026* True story of Queen Elizabeth ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive Portrait Of Queen Elizabeth I *by A***Y on June 12, 2017* A superb, intelligent, and intimate portrait of the golden age of the Virgin Queen, with the magnificent Helen Mirren as the embodiment of Elizabeth I (one of her greatest roles, in my opinion).

Certainly, the best known and unforgettable of these are Dame Flora Robson, Betty Davis, Dame Judi Dench and more recently Cate Blanchett in Shekhar Kapur's "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age". In HBO's "Elizabeth I", Helen Mirren's portrayal of England's greatest monarch shows an Elizabeth who has now moved past the flower of her youth into middle age and narrowing prospects of using her virginity as a political bargaining chip on the world power stage. And yet it is no less a push by her Privy Council for her to find a husband and produce an heir and keep England safe and independent from a world that is far more Catholic than it is Protestant. Jeremy Irons is certainly a well considered Lord Robert Dudley, who was the love of Queen Elizabeth I's life. Irons and Mirren play beautifully off one another and the tenderness, even at times when they are at odds or at the passing of Dudley is a palpable thing both historically and on the screen. The movie is well researched, and the portrayal of Mary Queen of Scots was far more acurate than the version by Shekhar Kapur. Mary Queen of Scots spent most of her life in France and would have a decidedly French accent rather than a Scottish one. HBO's producers of Elizabeth I thankfully did not omit this detail. Mirren gives a very good insight into a very complex and incredibly intelligent women who kept herself several steps ahead of her courtiers and ministers and someone who was very much the product of her father, King Henry VIII and mother, Ann Boelyn. Helem Mirren shows us a glimpse of a woman who loved and loved deeply and yet was not free to live as other women lived and had to make decisions not just for her own considerations but for the people and Country to which she considered herself married to first and foremost. No matter how you feel about Elizabeth I or the times in which England began to truly become an Empire, you can empathise with Mirren's Elizabeth right up until her legendary end. If you are interested in history, particularly the history of the Tudors and Elizabeth I, this is a film that is definitely not to miss. An important thing to note to those who are concerned about violence in film/ There are a few scenes depicting graphic violence dealing with torture, punishment and execution of those who went against the Crown. The scene of the execution of Mary Queen of Scots showed that it took more than one strike of the executioner's axe to behead her. While all of this is certainly in keeping with the times, it is not for children or the squeamish. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/260772496-elizabeth-i](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/260772496-elizabeth-i) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
