Does anyone here think this is the best film Helen Mirren ever did?

I personally do. Her performance feels so personal, yet it's so moving.

She spent the majority of this movie almost naked, so of course it's probably her best!

I just saw this film last week for the first time. Still thinking about it today. Not even sure what I think about it yet, so many emotions, but I think that Helen Mirren did a great job and she looked absolutely amazing.
