Queen of Earth is a terrifically creepy drama, driven by fine direction, a sharp script and two wonderful leading ladies.
Starts off like the sequel to the Magdalene Sisters but develops into a powerful tale of love, loss and ultimately life.
Despite energetic production and performances, Wonka lacks the bite or valueable lessons that make other Roald Dahl adaptations memorable.
Perhaps a bigger dramatic bite than director Justin Kurzel can chew, but Lord Fassbender, Lady Cotillard and some stunning visuals lend this gritty Macbeth the necessary heft.
