The Young Victoria

Whether historically accurate or not but director Jean-Marc Vallée makes a sweeping romantic epic with this film written by Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park). The story set in the years before the young Victoria becomes a queen and after she marries prince Albert. Vallée and Fellowes show insight the lives of royals raised in a golden cage and used for political power. Thanks to perfect casting of Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend along with a stellar supporting cast, the film is very effective and way above expectations for its kind.
