The Queen

About This Movie

So, 'The Queen' from 2021 is this intriguing blend of fantasy and romance. It dives into a world where the Nine-Tailed Queen, with her ethereal grace, is captured by Yuan Hong and his band of monkey monsters. The pacing is a little uneven, but it kind of adds to the surreal atmosphere. There’s something haunting about the way the queen is portrayed—she's both powerful and vulnerable, especially after losing a tail thanks to Jiang Ziya. The practical effects on the fox transformations are noteworthy, and the performances have this earnestness, grounding the fantastical elements. It's an interesting take on themes of sacrifice and resilience, and you can really feel the weight of the queen's journey throughout.
