Movie Review: The Young Victoria

Saturday, August 8, 2009

Starring: Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, Jim Broadbent, Miranda Richardson, Mark Strong
Directed by: Jean-Marc Vallee
U.S. Rating: PG

I watched The Young Victoria last night, and LOVED it! I'm a BIG fan of period films, and this one did NOT disappoint. There were beautiful dresses, handsome men, and a LOVE story to rival the best in history! I watched it twice last night, and I'm making Luis (my husband) watch it this morning with me. I love period dramas. If you do, you LOVE this!

I looked up how historically accurate this film is and it seems it is very much accurate. There are even scenes where the actual words are the same! WOW! Some things that were not were: Victoria's relationship with her Uncle Leopold, he was not as harsh an Victoria cared for him very much as he was like a father figure to her.

I enjoyed this movie VERY much! It is now out of DVD, so go buy it for your wife or a friend and have a girls night in! 2 Thumbs Up!
