Mary Queen Of Scots Movie Review A Big Let Down I honestly had high hopes for Mary Queen Of Scots, I really did, but this movie just didn't live up to the hype it built. Mary Queen Of Scots tells the historical story of, well... Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary Stuart returns to Scotland from France and seeks to be named the heir to the English Crown.

So, I love historical films, and there are some great  historical films out there, but Mary Queen Of Scots will eventually be forgotten. I can't speak to the historical accuracy of the film, because I'm more versed in American and Roman history.  I do have a sneaking suspicion that this film isn't that historically accurate. I know, I know, the shock that a movie would not be historically accurate is an oddity, but hey I just have the feeling. Mary is played by Saoirse Ronan , and she did a... okay? yeah I'll go with that... okay job playing her ...
