 Pakistan Film History
The film ranking has been very controversial in Pakistan, because some films were superhit in one circuit (Lahore or Karachi) but totally failed in the other circuit.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Jubilee
As far as the film's narrative can be explained, it follows Queen Elizabeth I (Jenny Runacre) as she is transported from the 16th century to observe a bleak, broken-down Britain of the near-future (a landscape that adequately, if conveniently, represents the declining Britain of the 1970s).
The film, however, is both much less and much more than a tale of violent, directionless, deviant misfits: it cannot be contextualised as a "story" with "characters" because it eschews any representation of human qualities in favour of a sexualised mass of violence and anarchy.
Ultimately, Jubilee is not pure Jarman: it is riotous rather than deliberate in its subversiveness, and it celebrates bi- and heterosexual promiscuity rather than homoeroticism (which is significant, given the rest of Jarman's oeuvre).

 DVD Times - Jubilee
Although the film is set in the distant future, the art direction and costumes are deliberate in their attempts to evoke comparisons with the 1977 contemporary culture.
Jubilee has very little in the form of well-structured characters or powerful plot, but twenty fours years from the film’s making this appears to be its charm.
Jubilee is a blatant attempt at shock, but remains years later as a period punk piece and plays an important part in the period of both British Cinema history and British history itself.

The film's explicit content and ground-breaking full-frontal male nudity earned it an X rating when it was first released; the film went on to become a critical and commercial success.
Although the film is relatively faithful to Marlowe's Elizabethan text, Jarman's direction turned the source material into a parable of homosexual martyrdom in the face of institutionalized homophobia, with direct references to the repressive nature of Thatcher-era British politics.
Other significant films by Jarman include The Last of England (1988), War Requiem (1989), The Garden (1990), Wittgenstein (1993), and his final work Blue (1993), in which a soundtrack of voices, sound effects, and music are densely interwoven against a plain, unchanging cobalt blue screen to convey Jarman's experiences with AIDS.

 DVD Breakdown | Jubilee (1977)
More a cultural artifact than a narrative film in the classical sense, Derek Jarman's Jubilee immerses itself in the punk culture that cast an apocalyptic light on Britain in the late 1970s.
The film's 16mm source material is in plain evidence on this grainy, undersaturated transfer.
Considering the nature of the film, this DVD easily offers the best possible presentation of the film, with remarkably good sharpness but still a good deal of print damage and debris.

 Andy's Anachronisms -- Movie review of Jubilee (1977) by Derek Jarman
The film suffers from the absence of a strong plot or main character to act as our guide through the dystopian landscape that Jarman paints.
Where Alex’s band of male droogs use violence as form of entertainment and gratification, Jubilee’s band of mostly female outcasts use violence as a means of extracting revenge on a society that has betrayed them.
Jarman’s personal connections to the art scene of 1970s England afforded him the opportunity to cast a number of up-and-coming as well as established names in the punk scene, such as Jordan, an impossibly young Adam Ant, Toyah Wilcox, and an uncredited Siouxsie Sioux.
