The historical drama Mary Queen of Scots, featuring Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan, will soon be leaving Netflix. If you want to see it, you’ll need to watch it quickly!
The movie stars Saoirse Ronan as Mary, Queen of Scots, and Margot Robbie as her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. It’s a historical drama that unfolds during the tense period before Mary’s execution, highlighting the political maneuvering and ethical dilemmas of the time.
The movie, first released in 2018, is currently on Netflix UK, but it will be taken off the service on Wednesday, March 18th, so viewers don’t have much time left to watch it.
The period drama is directed by Josie Rourke and written by Beau Willimon, and features a strong ensemble cast with notable actors like David Tennant, Jack Lowden, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Gemma Chan, Martin Compston, and Adrian Lester.
When Mary Queen of Scots came out, it was mostly well-received, and Robbie’s performance was particularly praised. She received nominations for Best Supporting Actress at both the BAFTA Awards and the Actor Awards.
What to Read Next
Currently, 62% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes have given the film a positive review, based on 294 reviews. The general consensus is that Mary Queen of Scots provides somewhat inconsistent political drama, but features strong performances from its two main actors.
According to The Guardian, Rourke and Willimon have created a captivating and intriguing drama that feels fresh compared to other shows. While it doesn’t radically change the genre, it’s a solid and worthwhile effort.
According to IndieWire, the film is a sweeping story about the personal struggles of two incredibly influential young women, focusing on the tension between their true selves and the public images they maintain.
Even Vanity Fair offered high praise, stating that Josie Rourke’s film Mary Queen of Scots deserves to be considered among the best historical royal dramas.
Just as one Scottish period drama is leaving Netflix soon, a new one has arrived! The highly-rated true story, I Swear, is now streaming on the platform.
Mary Queen of Scots will be removed from Netflix on 18 March.
