Review of The Young Victoria (2009) by Carole S — 15 Oct 2012
Anyways, Blodeuedd had said she cried a bit while watching this and I took this warning and brought a box of tissue with me on the couch. Well, I was going to have to anyways, because I have a slight cold, but I'm glad she issued that warning because I did cry a little bit. It wasn't because it was a sad and tragic story, just some scenes pull at certain emotions that bring tears.
I really liked this movie. It was the first movie I've seen that was solely about Queen Victoria's youth. I've seen plenty of movies about her when she's old and near the end of her rule. I love how Jean-Marc Vallee put the film together. I loved the costumes and the scenery. Everything just went well together. The acting was superb! I believe that Emily Blunt should have won the Golden Globe for her performance, but alas, she didn't. Rupert Friend should have AT LEAST been nominated and won.
The only negative thing I could think of is the ending of the film. I believe they should have covered a couple more years of her reign; I think that the movie ended on an odd note. I feel that is was a little anti-climatic, you know? I don't know how to describe it, but it just...ended. Personally, they should have covered the birth of their first born or something like that.
Overall, I highly enjoyed this movie! I think Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend did a wonderful job and had great chemistry. If you have any love of history or just a good movie, watch this. You'll enjoy it. ^.^ Out of five stars I give this one 4 stars, because the ending was a little...anti-climatic, I guess is what it was. It is technically 4.4, but I don't give decimals.
Favorite Character(s): Prince Albert and Queen Victoria.
Not-so Favorite Character(s): Duchess of Kent.
