The Young Victoria (2009) @Siddon
Ah, a perfect film for me and my wife to watch. Both of us really enjoyed this. We had seen it once before but so long ago that I had forgotten just how good it was. I love anything set in a royal court with all the drama, power plays and manipulations going on behind the scenes. Love the glorious sets and were they glorious! Many of the interior shots were filmed inside a real castle, Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire. The dresses and costumes are period correct in fact and look regal!
I liked Emily Blunt as the young Victoria. This was her first starring role in a major movie. I haven't seen her in much but I'd like to see more of her work. Rubert Friend as Prince Albert was perfect as the loyal companion to Victoria. Both are very relatable too. In fact everyone was well cast to represent the people they played. In short, this film had it all.
The dress Victoria wears for her first meeting with her council is a copy of the actual dress Queen Victoria wore on this occasion.
