This is a fine movie. 'The Lion in Winter' captures the emotions, and intentions, of these historical personages. More than perfect staging, or props, it's the impression you receive from the movie that matters most. This is accomplished, because of the superb acting of the entire cast. Andrew Howard, who plays Richard, was fantastic, and Glenn Close demonstrated, once again, that she is one of the best actresses on the planet. Patrick Stewart, in particular, shines. This might be his best performance, yet. 'The Lion in Winter', gives us a glimpse into the troubles lives of royalty; indeed, it shows us how we humans behave in given circumstances. How frail, and how prone to treachery, we truly are. I cast a confident '9'.
