A sumptuous historical thriller coloured by majestic performances from Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Clive Owen, Samantha Morton, and Abbie Cornish. The Golden Age is set 15 years after the events depicted in Elizabeth, when Mary Stuart conspires with Philip of Spain to seize the English throne, the Armada sets sail and Elizabeth struggles to balance her regal duties with an unexpected attraction to the dashing privateer Sir Walter Raleigh. Sure to look amazing on the giant screen on the harbour.
"It's a full-scale star performance in every sense and I wouldn't be surprised if, like Helen Mirren last year, Blanchett walks away with an Elizabethan Oscar®."
Film Journal International
"When you see Cate Blanchett in one fantastical gown after another, you understand why Elizabeth's reign was golden."
Wall Street Journal
