Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

难得在国产片看到结局暗示主角团灭的，但是演技实在有点浮夸了，夜莺唱歌邓恩熙连嘴型都没对上，设定和想法还可以，也吐槽了很多演艺圈现状，但落实的有点点粗糙。

可以说是年度最大惊喜了，放在近几年，也称得上是国产最佳悬疑片。关键是他悬疑吧，还巨踏马搞笑，演技也全员在线，台词水平很高，让人欲罢不能，意犹未尽，很想二刷。
其他都好套路又无聊
这剧本真不是设定在当代的拍不了就改民国？没有为时代背景做任何尝试啊。
3.5吧，各方面比前阵子那部《不速来客》好很多，完成度还行，但起承转合还是有点做作。不太懂什么剧本杀，实际上对这种典型的阿加莎密室悬疑故事有点疲软，但难得的是其中暗含的影射意义，当然还有两处《闪灵》梗。
有人强暴了电影，他们拍一部电影来反映电影被强暴的恶行，可惜他们能力也很有限，不想指责他们也强暴了电影，那样就跟他们犯了一样的错，把能力问题变成了道德问题
有梗，有反转，有讽刺，但就是故事说不通，虽然有零星一点背景交代，却什么都看起来不真实，但总之在影院能看看一起笑一笑，总比什么都没有要强。还是晚上回来看看1青龙奖颁奖来淘一点好电影吧。
里面的几个角色正是社会上的各种人:资本家、艺术家、执政者、女性、中老年，还有作为一个少数族裔在海外的华人。他们的互动是隐喻，揭露了社会上残酷而现实的众生相。
一个封闭空间的犯罪悬疑，先套了个电影班底攒电影的核先自嘲，最后刀尖直指人性和社会阶级。看似一群怂蛋小人物，实则火力可不小！部分内容很好奇是如何过的审，重点胜在尺度，四星
看之前我觉得这个片名莫名其妙，不知道演员表有谁，也不知道是什么类型的片子，所以！就很惊喜！刚好悬疑推理是我的菜，其中还夹杂着笑点。可惜就是这帮人坚持了善良最后还是难逃魔爪。
尺度真的还可以，没想到，这样的国产必须支持
也算不上什么精巧的故事，杂糅借鉴了很多的经典悬疑电影。没有成功营造起悬疑悬念如阿加莎无人生还那种的严肃惊悚感，本来定位就是偏喜剧，但也没多好笑，更多的还是万合天宜那种拿腔捏调的网络情景喜剧，如李编剧在剧本分析会上所说，我们要偏重于还原真实的案情，但这部电影恰恰拿捏在戏谑与严肃之间，两头不靠，哪头都不够彻底，不够痛快。
中国电影未死，还有一群人真的是在为电影
电影有很多形式，这是当中一种，故事原创性很强，表演完成度很高，但视听语言几乎没有存在感，更像一集尽善尽美浓缩精华的综艺——也很好；只是如果后来者不能确信写出如此逻辑严谨的剧本，拜托一定不要模仿拍电影。
很一般，中间一度无聊得想离场。结尾的反转有那么点意思，但是和前半部分比又有点割裂。导演应该是想拍出那种抽丝剥茧层层剥开真相的感觉，但是没有操作好。
在当下的电影创作环境里能够拍出这样的电影，不是在造垃圾，真的挺好的。
你基本可以相信邓家佳挑选中小成本剧作得眼光。
除了两个真相没猜到
十个项目九个凉，商业投资很正常～套用剧本杀形式构建不断反转层次丰富的文本，看得出是万合天宜一堆编剧集思广益堆砌的产物，然而起承转合不太高明，含沙射影犹如隔靴搔痒，有时候作品的表达欲太强给人的观感只会过犹不及。
