Watched this last night on dvd. Absolutely superb. Helen Mirren's Oscar was very well deserved but the whole film drags you in so far that it seems to be over in a flash.

Great use of inter-cutting archive footage with dramatic action. Tight script, all round great performances and very focused direction. It was a genuine disappointment when it came to an end.

Best film I've seen this year so far.

i liked the way blair went from having no respect for her and deriding her to having respect and a little awe.
