The Young Victoria

The Young Victoria is a beautifully shot film that focuses on the early life of Queen Victoria and portrays her transformation from a sheltered and imprisoned princess, who is controlled by her Mother's advisor, into a young woman discovering love who has to juggle her feelings alongside becoming the ruler of an entire kingdom.

Emily Blunt is a sympathetic Victoria and breathes life into a monarch who is so often remembered as a sober and serious widow. Rupert Friend, as Prince Albert, gives a truthful portrayal of Victoria's love without being two dimensional.

Similar in narrative construction as the powerful Elizabeth, The Young Victoria is well worth a watch if not for the lovely story but also for the stunning photography and settings. Watch out for a certain Princess Eugenie as one of Victoria's ladies in waiting during the coronation scene.

This is on my top list of all-time favorite films! It is a fantastic and insightful film. It was Historically interesting and great to watch! I thought the acting from Emily Blunt was fantastic and Rupert Friend was a fantastic Albert, the best actor was chosen for Albert.

The costumes were gorgeous and the settings and scenes such as the opera house, were amazing and detailed. I just loved it, all of it!

I loved the childhood scenes were she's getting 'bullied' by John Conroy. And where her mother says she has to walk stairs with an adult.

One again the writers have done it! They produced this fantastic script!

It thoroughly deserves the awards they got.
