The Young Victoria
(2009)
Starring: Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend
The Young Victoria was one of the most beautifully crafted period pieces i have seen in quite some time. The set, location, and costumes were meticulously perfect and historically accurate. I have seen several other films, documentary and fiction alike, about Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and this seemed to capture the special sort of relationship that they had in a very inciteful and romantic way. I was shocked by the length of this film. When i left the magic lantern i felt that i had been watching for much longer than the short 105 minute running time, in the best way possible. The characters and historical events were fully developed in perfect tempo with the plot. I believe that the way that this film was constructed will appeal not only to people typically interested in the period piece genre, but many other genre viewers will be intrigued as well and will enjoy it as enthusiastically as i have. In conclusion The Young Victoria was a colorful and intriguing character display of historical figures given life through the wonder of film.
