Saoirse Ronan And Jack Lowden Attend Scottish Premiere Of ‘Mary Queen Of Scots’ In Edinburgh

Actors Saoirse Ronan, Jack Lowden and James McArdle attended the Scottish premiere of their new film Mary Queen of Scots on Monday at Edinburgh Castle.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was one of several famous guests who was also present at the screening.

Mary Queen of Scots is a historical drama directed by English filmmaker Josie Rourke and written by former House of Cards showrunner Beau Willimon. Based on historian John Guy‘s book Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, it tells the story of the eponymous monarch who became Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18. Despite pressure to remarry, Mary Stuart chose to return to her native Scotland in 1569 to reclaim her rightful place on the throne. However, her cousin Queen Elizabeth I is the monarch who holds sovereignty over both England and Scotland. A duel between the two women and their respective allies quickly emerges.

Ronan — the 24-year-old Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated star of films like Brooklyn and Lady Bird — plays Mary Stuart, while 28-year-old Margot Robbie — who last year was Oscar-nominated for her leading role in I, Tonya — portrays Queen Elizabeth I. Lowden plays Mary Queen of Scots’ second husband Lord Darnley in the film, while McArdle portrays the Earl of Moray, the Regent of Scotland.

The movie has mixed reviews, with an average Rotten Tomatoes score of 63%. Ronan’s performance has been especially praised by critics.
