(Spoiler: these two crazy kids work it out.) Expect intrigue, opulence and a murderer’s row of great British character actors.
Into this fraught dynamic strolls Albert ( Rupert Friend), who enters Victoria’s orbit at the behest of one of those game-players, but whose connection with the woman who would be queen seems genuine. Written by "Downton Abbey" scribe Julian Fellowes and directed by the late Jean-Marc Vallée ("Big Little Lies"), this 2009 historical drama centers on the young Princess Victoria (Blunt), who is next in line for the British throne but feels like less a powerful figure than a pawn in the games of others.
If you’re looking for a nuanced critique of the monarchy and/or Imperialism, you’ll want to skip right past "The Young Victoria" - but lovers of grand ballgowns, complex hairstyles, epic romances and Emily Blunt will find plenty to admire.
