Mary Queen of Scots | 10 Minute Preview | Film Clip | Own it now on 4K, Blu-ray, DVD & Digital

Two powerful Queens battle for one throne in the riveting and extraordinary drama based on a true story, Mary Queen of Scots. A chronicle of two strong woman pitted against each other in an age of male dominance, the 16th century tale showcases “bold performances” (Lindsey Bahr, Associated Press) from Academy Award® nominees Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) and Margot Robbie (I, Tonya) in their roles as Mary I of Scotland and Elizabeth I of England. Filled with manipulation, betrayal and deceit from start to finish, Mary Queen of Scots also features an outstanding supporting cast including Guy Pearce (The King’s Speech), Jack Lowden (Dunkirk), Joe Alwyn (Boy Erased) and David Tennant (“Doctor Who”).
Mary Queen of Scots explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Ronan). Queen of France at 16, widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry and instead returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. By birth, she also has a rival claim to the throne of Elizabeth I (Robbie), who rules as the Queen of England. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Rivals in power and love, the two Queens make very difficult choices about marriage and children. Betrayal, rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens-driving them apart, as each women experiences the bitter cost of power.

Mary didn’t have a Scottish accent.... she had a French accent because she lived in France since she was a baby. She acted and spoke as a French woman.

[@whateveritwasitis]

you know that is an excellent point and does take away credibility, i didnt consider this. first thing off the boat and shes got the strong draw, no it doesn't happen like that. but Saoirse Ronan could be speaking a 12th century Swaheli dialect and id still be in love.

@Suzi True…it’s just a film, but IMO, it could have been just as interesting and entertaining (perhaps even more so) had this facet of history been portrayed accurately. It would have highlighted why the Scottish barons were so adverse to her. I’m not a fan of revising history….and especially doing so for such a petty reason.

It annoys me when people say "political correctness gone mad" just because theres a black man present in the scene There was around 250-350 recorded black people living in London in 1600's as free men and women, with professions like sailors, shop keepers and even a trumpeter for the royal court. Now I'm not saying this means its historically accurate to have a black man portrayed as part of Elizabeths court because I don't know for a fact if she did or didn't have one, (Catherine of Aragon had some black ladies in waiting so) but you can't simply say no black people existed in this time or its inaccurate to show them in this setting And in regards to historical inaccuracies - this whole film is inaccurate! It's a Hollywood movie, why even care that a black man is in it, have the same level of vitriol for the fact that Mary is so young, or the Scottish accent, or them meeting face to face or the million other things the movie both adds in and leaves out Creative licence is taken.

[@mscott3918]

Sushma Ghising They never met and that is historical fact. Elizabeth did offer a meeting in Nottingham but only as a political gesture, she never intended it to happen. Their relationship was complicated by being cousins, but Mary was deeply involved in plots to have Elizabeth assassinated so that she could take the throne. Mary was a demanding guest, wanting all the trappings of monarchy, silver plates, servants, a chair of state and canopy, which, as she had abdicated, were no longer appropriate. I recently bought a batch of Elizabeth 1's letters from the period, which I plan to use as the basis of an accurate book on the subject, when I have finished writing my current book.

[@siusaidhdubhodhar5383]

HalloIchBinDieGabi no they aren’t. Mary Stewart was the daughter of king James V of Scotland and his second wife, Marie de Guise. Mary I of England was Henry VIII’s daughter by Katheryne of Aragon. She ruled England with her husband Philip of Spain, after her brother Edward VI died. When she died, because she had no children, Philip returned to Spain and Elizabeth became queen. When Elizabeth died, Mary Stewart’s son James VI of Scotland became king of England. Mary Stewart’s father James V was the son of James IV and Margaret Tudor (Henry VIII elder sister).

[@jvincent6548]

A very good film. Both leading actors were compelling. Was it historically accurate? Well, no (as far as the historical record shows), but it isn't a history lesson.

Elizabeth is interpreted in many different ways depending on history writing.

Of course not. Of course not. It's a law now that in all historical movies about Europeans, blacks have to be casted in the name of diversity and color blind casting. Falsifying and blackwashing European history on the behalf of the diversity agenda. Therefore you see in all recent produced historical movies blacks playing all kind of European people to propagate the lie that Europe was always multiracial, inclusive and diverse, etc. This movie should be all white but it doesn't fit the liberal leftists narrative and their multiculturalism, diversity propaganda. Only all black movies are allowed and celebrated.

[@elijahsackville-glucksburg]

Despite the historical inaccuracies, the film is good. The actors portrayed the roles very well and the costumes, make up, hair are accurate. Again, a movie is set to entertain and educate but this somewhat compromised the accuracy for entertainment but talking about entertainment, this is great. In fact, this is the only film that portrayed Queen Elizabeth's face after having a smallpox, there are no movies or shows out there that did that. But the "forced diversity" in this film makes it horrible. David Rizzio and Lord Darnley aren't gay, Bess is not Asian and there are no Black Lords at the 16th century, but then again, if you want historical accuracy, read books and watch documentaries not movies and TV series. Look at the series "The Tudors" ahh, it was way horrible than this, the actors are a complete miscast. "Reign" so much historical inaccuracy. "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth: the Golden Age" just right but bias at times. Look, the point is, even if there are some historical inaccuracies, the series and movies still worth a watch because it is not generally inaccurate and also entertaining and at least would give you an overview in history but make sure not to rely on these. Did you know that this movie was already proposed a decade ago, Scarlett Johannson was set to play the title role in 2007 and it is set to be seen in cinemas in 2008. Remember "The Other Boleyn Girl"? It has Natalie Portman and ScarJo but also at that same year, Mary, Queen of Scots is set to be shown but unfortunately, there are some minor problems and was delayed and delayed until they cast Saoirse to play the title role and later cast Margot in 2017 to play Queen Elizabeth.

George Clooney to play role of Nelson Mandela or Emperor Bokassa from Central African Republic. Fucking nonsense!

[@mscott3918]

Wise Dragon Agree with you. It's political correctness gone mad. Another case of dictators rewriting history.

[@InnateNobility]

In the end, Mary had to clean up Henry VIII's dynastic mess. It's ironic how Henry decried his elder sister Margaret's wish for a divorce from her second husband while he himself was creating a huge mess in England just to marry Anne Boleyn. And although Anne won in the end by her daughter Elizabeth becoming the most famous monarch in the history of England, it was Henry VIII's sister Margaret -- whose line he himself crossed out of the English succession -- that had the strongest claim after numerous replacements before and after Elizabeth I's reign were considered or actually placed on the throne (Lady Jane Grey). His sister Mary (Queen of France, Duchess of Suffolk) also had a line that was put above Margaret's claim because he didn't want the Stewarts of Scotland to have a claim to the throne of England as well as actually succeed to it, but in the end all of the Grey line -- apart from Jane being executed by Mary Tudor (his daughter from his Spanish first wife, Katharine of Aragon) -- was deemed unworthy to rule or were close surveillance. The able claimant from the Grey line was Katherine Grey, Lady Jane Grey's sister. After that there was only one possible claimant left in England... Arabella Stuart, who was the daughter of Lord Darnley's -- who was Mary, Queen of Scots' English second husband -- younger brother, Charles Stuart. And Elizabeth imprisoned Arabella the way she had Katherine Grey, out of spite for both of them marrying without her consent since Elizabeth herself was choosing to stay unmarried. She was very jealous of women who had found love and were married because she was unable to marry her personal love interest, Robert Dudley. In the end, it was Margaret Tudor's bloodline that succeeded to the throne because Mary, Queen of Scots is Margaret's granddaughter. Irony at its best other than Anne Boleyn's daughter ruling England effectively and becoming an icon during and after her death, for 45 years. Mary's son succeeded by Mary sacrificing her safety due to not ratifying the Treaty of Edinburgh. Because of this, she was looked upon with disfavor by England; the specific terms for Mary was that she couldn't use the English heraldry/coat of arms on her own coat of arms because England already had a queen (Elizabeth). Even if there was extreme pressure on all sides for Mary to ratify the treaty, she chose not to and maintained her place in the succession even if Elizabeth never officially named her. Elizabeth didn't because Mary's claim was absolutely 100% undeniable due to being her own aunt's granddaughter, and Mary being Elizabeth's first cousin once removed. Weathering the loss of her throne, dignity, and imprisonment for 19 years, Mary was victorious in the end because she gave England the heir that Elizabeth did not, and that is how in the end Mary is still victorious over Elizabeth. She did her dynastic duty. All descendants of the current royal family trace themselves back to Mary, Queen of Scots and her granddaughter Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia -- sometimes called the Winter Queen.

Instead, focus on the people and the events, and all of the intrigues contained therein, and you can turn many from believing that history has to be "dramatized" into being interesting, into KNOWING history, its events and people, are fascinating without any extemperanous Hollywood influence.

@Dana Davison Mary wasn't weak. Mary existed in a time where sovereign queens weren't common place. Scotland was tired of monarchs and even more tired of being a political football for France and England. Mary wasn't raised in Scotland, so she had a difficult time assimilating back into Scottish culture/politics when she did return. During her time as Queen Consort of France, it was Catherine and Mary's Guise uncles who ruled France in hers and Francis' name so she didn't have much experience with ruling alone. She believed in religious tolerance which was intelligent and highly progressive and unheard of in 16th century Europe. She dealt with depression, miscarriage, and even possible rape and was surrounded by scheming lords that wanted her gone the moment she returned to Scotland to rule. Imagine having to deal with that and not have a single person that you can trust on your side. That's not a weak person.

Elizabeth I was Henry VII's granddaughter and Mary his great-granddaughter so Elizabeth was Mary's first cousin once removed. In my culture, that equals a paternal aunt. So why did Mary keep calling Elizabeth her "sister" in this series?

It’s a term of endearment.

And they are "sister"queens.
