Audience Member Las películas románticas siempre son agradables de ver... entretenidas. Pero cuando la historia es real, es cuando más parece fantasía. Podría decirse que esta historia demuestra las locuras que se hacen en nombre del amor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it but it was a little boring. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 2.5: Interesting film (I haven't seen the more recent incarnation), but only moderately so. It's kind of the other side of The King's Speech. The story is ultimately more engaging on numerous levels (even if it is less feel-good and inspiring), but neither the production values, performances, or writing are quite up to snuff. More than anything it made me want to watch The Queen again and see more of Joely Richardson (which should happen in the next two David Fincher Girl With a Dragon Tattoo films). I'm definitely a Joely Richardson fan, but she does obviously have it in her genes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member MADONNA??? really????? immaculately awesome!! and Joely Richardson looked SO MUCH like Wallis Simpson, the true elegance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review thomas a It is a good companion to "The King's Speech", albeit not as good. It is recommendable to play both movies back-to-back though, as in a movie marathon... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely loved it! It was nice to see WE's story from their own points of view for a change. The actors all did a great job although some were stronger than others. However overall this was an excellent tv movie.
