emily blunt stars as queen victoria in this martin scorsese produced pseudo-biopic. french filmmaker jean-marc vallée helms a competent enough picture, that is pleasingly enough while it lasts, but leaves little in the way of after effect. emily blunt and paul bettany both provide great performances, with rupert friend as prince albert being the key performance. he brings genuine sense of emotion towards the relationship between albert and victoria, with the final moments proving incredibly touching.
I loved this film and saw it twice in one week. I'm not usually a fan of period dramas or films about the monarchy but I thought this was incredibly touching and heartwarming. I'm turning into a bit of an Emily Blunt fan now too
