This movie from the same team of writer and director who made
The Last King of Scotland is even better. We saw it a few days
ago (at home, rented) and I can't get some of the incidents out
of my head.

Especially telling is the scene towards the end when the queen
drives herself (in a Land Rover) to a nearby estate to see the
slain stag in a stone outbuilding where game is hanged and bled
(14 point stag = Princess Diana).

Besides Helen Mirren as the queen, the actors playing the Duke
of Wales and Tony Blair are eerily accurate.
