The Girl King (2015)
3/10
Not even good as historical fiction
2 December 2022
What is there to really say about this dreadful movie? It's about a fictional queen who just happens to have the same name as a real queen. So, the writers decided to gloss over history and give us a vision of their alternate reality. I have no problem with that, if they had, in fact, given us a good movie.

Instead, what we see is a plodding narrative that meanders along at a snail's pace. Was Kristina of Sweden a lesbian? Who knows. While a handful of historians think so, their is no actual proof; and the majority dismiss the idea for that reason. But, again, presenting her as such would not be an issue if the story had been written to be engaging and interesting, rather than drab and lifeless.

I can only recommend this to folks who enjoy bland historical fiction.
