Mary, Queen of Scots

The Dove Take:

Based on British historian John Guy’s Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, this biopic in flashback tells a brutally violent 16th-century tale of betrayal and political intrigue with explicit sex scenes and religious rivalry between Catholics and Protestants thrown in.
