I left the theater unsettled and my husband and I both felt weird. I honestly think that is a sign that the cast, director, and writer did a wonderful job. We both had much to talk about over dinner. Emma Stones brilliant acting just through her expressive face and eyes. Did the Queen's disfunction start from her tramautic experiences or does she have dementia ( or both)? Which 'favorite' really 'won'? The end is very emotional and artful. If you pay attention, you notice that the story does 'come' full circle, even if it leaves the viewer wanting for more.
