I actually liked this documentary. It was just very short and I was wanting more. I did find out a few things that I had not known about Her Majesty and a couple of events that have taken place during her reign. One event being the Aberfan colliery spoil landslide. That was long before my time and I did not know of the tragedy. However, I really would've liked to have seen a more personal look at the Queen herself but this was a more general look at her overall reign.

Great short documentary if you're interested in the royals

I think this came at the right time since the popularity of the crown is so high. Covered a lot of her in different eras and fascinating to see how this lady has become the longest standing monarch. Long live the queen!
The Complexities of the Crown

Came across this documentary on Disney+ the other that gives you an insider view into Queen Elizabeth II. It draws parallels between the Queen and her Royal relatives, from Edward VIII to Margaret to Diana. Seems to hone in on her personal relationships and the most "dramatic" moments of the Queen's life and how she navigates through them. I 'm a Crown superfan and I feel like this is a concise documentary version of the Netflix series.
Really makes you respect her in a new way. I like how the documentary uses the "insider" voices like Prince Philip's private secretary Michael Parker who reveals a lot of insightful information.
My only complaint is that I wish it was longer!

Short documentary too short to justify it

Well done on the documentary but the story went very fast as they do highlight details but also went too fast through it meaning how they pick elements for making this movie and what the purpose is.
It gave so many real life pictures and clips make the distance between the story close to you. Like sitting on the front row of the happening.
The flow of the movie is not great as it gives all the time glimpse of the queen's life, making it hard to follow as you need to recapture what timeline it is and what it is happening at that moment.
