Mary, Queen of Scots is another highly anticipated film. We are big fans of both Margot Robbie (Goodbye, Christopher Robin) & Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird). This is Robbie’s “ugly” film, playing the strong Elizabeth I, determined to not be sidetracked by a man or men. Small pox left the Queen scarred, hence the famous white […]
