Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

宗教信仰，电视事业和婚姻生活，电影涉及很多方面但是都没有深挖，塔米菲这个角色有很强的表演欲，稍微拿捏不好就容易很浮夸，劳模姐还是尽力让我们看到了人物隐藏在浮华之下的天真和脆弱，拿下影后实至名归，看到最后还是有被感动到，经历了人生的大起大落，塔米菲还是保持着虔诚的信仰，她因为童年缺少关爱而信仰上帝，也曾经迷失自我沉醉在浮华之中，最后又因为信仰找回自我。
很喜欢这种歌颂女性力量的电影。很喜欢劳模姐。
在精彩的剧情和表演之外，这电影的美术和设计都做得好棒！每个年代的风格都体现在所有细节里。真是厉害啊……五星好评
最后的反杀很魔幻，很难让人信服。是男朋友或者老公的死男人说啥都不相信女主说的话，留着他做什么，单纯为让自己陷入危险吗？第一时间打包回程！
可以，兼具惊悚质地和省思意义，片子本身乏味堆叠，但氛围营造颇具亮点，异国他乡的孤寂心理与当前近在咫尺的凶杀案捆绑推进，关切女主的命运走向，是煞有介事还是精神紧绷，让观者的思绪也不断游移徘徊，拨弄的手法也的确高明，只可惜类型片的糟粕之处也比比皆是，比如游离在文本外的生硬男主，废物警察的标配处理，女二意外出现的后续编排，碎嘴讨论的防身手枪（后面一定有大用），可以猜得到的走向，不意外的转折反杀，女性力量需要崛起等等，女导演更遵循自我的思考视角，完成了这部还算在水准之上的“女性困境”剖析，但文本和影像中始终映衬着焦虑和不安，与现实交互。★★★
真的是太棒太棒的表演，甚至可以说是去年全球范围里最好的女性电影表演。华丽、动情，如上帝附体。带着极大陌生感的同时又让人对这个神婆充满了戏剧的共情。What a superb Jessica！
3.5 give Jessica her Oscar already??? Watch an interview of Tammy you’d see how good of a job she’s doing. What a fascinating woman. I wouldn’t have known her if not for this movie. I think she has a bigger heart than most. She was really maligned & mistreated. In terms of the movie, good pacing. Had me gripped the whole time. A big ask for biopics
有信仰的人是幸福的，但其却既可能善良也可能邪恶。不过如果认为宗教不等同于善恶，其只是一种现象、文化亦或社会组织形态，那么就无法信仰宗教了吧。
是很好的电影 即使我不信教 也能感受到Tammy的真挚和热情 音乐摄影服化道也很美 Jim确实是一个长不大的理想主义者 就是那种永远满足不了的人 得意忘形的时候对Tammy的行径算pua吧 很可怕 Jessica把女主演的太好了 尤其是中年时期 相比之下Garfield的演技就不怎么让人信服 感觉Ben Platt演更合适
规规矩矩，无聊的冲奥片，讲了半天什么都没讲明白。劳模姐终于拿影后了，太不容易了。
可以说除了杰西卡查斯坦和加菲尔德的表演外，无论在题材还是视听上都不具备吸引力，总体来说乏善可陈 ★★☆
劳模太努力了，整部电影仿佛在说即使有上帝也无法生活美满
“最好的结果也许是不得不与那种不确定性共存”
不知道为什么导演要这么糟蹋这么好的传记题材。为劳模姐表演加一星。
故事和呈现只能到3星，额外的一星是给劳模姐的表演。劳模姐演得比加菲好，但是故事呈现得太平浅了。
女导演首部长片已经非常出色了，通过镜头调度、光线调节、稳定的节奏、不通的语言、密闭空间的延展等手段把惊悚恐惧的情节一步步推向高潮最后戛然而止。是直觉感极强的女性的胜利，在没有人理解女人的时候只有女人拿起枪自保。个人很喜欢这部电影，虽然剧情并不出色，但在营造氛围上很让人着迷。
2.好莱坞每年都拍复古片，但是都是出来一大批粗制滥造塑料廉价味道的片子，这才显得《甘草披萨》的可贵。
#Oscar2022 影后实至名归。甚至觉得加菲的表现要比《倒数时刻》里还要好？
加菲猫一如既往的稳定，不过这个片子还是很平庸，犯了纪实片的通病
今年第二部最佳，导演风格品味一流，有些人批评本片的节奏，可能他们只擅长看一种尖叫型的恐怖片，我觉得导演很明显在用一个日常平缓的节奏，不是要给你讲一个突如其来的精彩故事，而是稀松平常每天都在发生的恐怖故事。啊，如今这社会对女性来说，就是这么恐怖，女人应该如实表达自己的情绪，站在大街上一起尖叫一起抗议。
