The Young VictoriaAverage: 3.2/5
Entertainment: 3.5/5- I truly enjoy most historical and biographical films. There is simply something about getting a glimpse into another person's reality, especially a true story, that captures my attention in a way I can't really describe, possibly due to a psychological desire to truly understand the mind of others.
Story: 2.5/5- I gave this category a slightly lower rating is because at times I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be watching the film as a history or a love story and because I was caught off-guard by its somewhat abrupt ending. I personally think I needed more of a sense of closure, but at the same time the film was meant to capture a very particular period of Queen Victoria's life.
Film: 3.5/5 -Emily Blunt shined as a young Queen Victoria.With each new film I see her in, I am continually impressed by Emily Blunt's caliber as an actress. Even though her role in this film was not as colorful a character as some of her other films like the Devil Wears Prada or Sunshine Cleaners, her control in this performance was impeccable.I gave the entertainment and film categories higher ratings due to Blunt's captivating performance, the ability of the film to convey the famous courtship and love of Victoria and Albert, and the fact that watching the film left me with a desire to learn more about this young woman who took her place in a world dominated by men and politics.
