I love this movie so much

good back-story, and good acting

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I feel a little naughty watching this right now, as ITV are currently transmitting Jenna Coleman's portrayal of Victoria, but I had to see it. A totally sumptuous film from start to finish, it looks sublime, the costumes are meticulous and opulent. Ir is easy to see the involvement of Julian Fellowes, it has a lot of historical accuracy, many costumes are exact copied for instance. The location work too, is simply first class.I know during its Cinema run, many people raised an eyebrow at Emily Blunt's casting as the young monarch, but in my humble opinion she does an incredible job, an utterly beautiful girl, she has more then enough presence to fill the shoes. Some of my favourite actors here, Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent etc, and they are all brilliant, but it's Blunt you can't help but keep your eyes fixed on.The music is glorious, from the very off, we here Zadok the Priest in the opening, and it just gets better.A tragic, but wonderful story truly is brought to life. Pure and raw emotion is captured in this film, the torment of longing and missing someone is beautifully captured, a very human film. 9/10

a real useful film. for its delicate beauty. for the different side of a legendary queen. for the recreation of atmosphere. for costumes. for the cast. and, more important, for the flavor who has different nuances by many other historical films because it gives the emotion who seems similar to the feelings when you admire old family pictures. its grace is the basic virtue . and the science of director to explore the parts of a kind of labyrinth of events, choices, gestures and decisions preserving the air of fairy tale who defines each love story. because it is a love story but "in nuce". the young queen is the axis of the venerable grandmother of Europe.

the most noticeable thing in the young Victoria is its majestic decorum and vividness. The movie reflect the very first years of the longest lived heirs of the English crown., and since youth was the subject matter of the movie it was colored likewise. quiet cheerful romantic and rebellious and different parts of it as the queen reject the regency to govern her country on behalf of her and stood up to take her own responsibly, she insisted talking to her husband Albert" if there are any mistakes to be make, they will be my mistakes and no one else, no one, not even you" . we could see that the movie tend to be a tribute to her majesty more than taking side for any ideological point of view. so Mr Vallé occupied himself by depicting the grandeur and beauty of such life. too flawless and simple that's my judgment as a critic, Vallé movie can a show as that we might have an accomplished work without making it too complicated or dense, without getting ridiculous. yet, the only thing that could be taken on the young Victoria is that it might got too romantic, for handling a life of such a historical figure should be rather more serious, it's true we saw some drama here and there with the gun shot and the regency issue, but it did not get the attention it provokes. However, it can be claimed that the main point and why it got so agreeable, it makes history simple and figuratively interesting to all new student and those interseted on that era.

Emily Blunt displays enough star wattage to light up an Empire, and smart editing and sumptuous production design add to the overall positives of "Young Victoria." While not a particularly engaging or stimulating movie, it manages to keep one interested.Blunt plays the title character, a teenager about to inherit the throne of Great Britain at about the time of its world-conquering zenith, 1837. Victoria is to be a constitutional monarch, bound by the strictures of popular will. She is also bound by other forces, including the connivances of a court that doesn't always wish her well. In such straits, she needs the love and support of Albert of Belgium (Rupert Friend), a real prince who also proves a prince of a guy."I know what it is to live alone inside your head," he tells her, "while never giving a clue as to your real feelings."Friend presents Albert as a likeably awkward man of real depth, a deserving match for the ravishing Blunt. Like nearly every other reviewer here, I'm in awe of what she brings to the screen, beauty and charm in equal measure. I can't say she's a great actress here, just a compelling star with her two killer expressions, Earnestly Pained and Serenely Pleased.That's all she needs, though, in a movie that works more by way of effective montage sequences than dramatic arcs or character building. "Young Victoria" tries something I haven't seen before, where one scene ends and another begins while both alternately play out on the screen for a minute or so of seamless cross-cutting. Director Jean-Marc Vallée and his editors, Jill Bilcock and Matt Garner, make this costume drama/chick flick an easy experience for those of us outside "Young Victoria's" target demographic, keeping information on a fast boil and served up with the right amount of energy and easy flair.This helps a lot, considering any lack of real conflict. When you think of it, there's really nothing going on in this film that isn't resolved with considerable ease.{SPOILERS} We are told in the opening moments that Victoria is fighting an attempt by a conniving noble to seize power from her by getting her to agree to a regency, but even before the title credit we see her saying no and pretty much settling that. The nasty noble manhandles Victoria a couple of times and even kicks a dog just so we can hate him better, but winds up out of gas by the time she takes the throne. Then we get a constitutional crisis that doesn't really seem serious, especially once Albert returns to claim his queen. Albert has his own people to get free of back home in Belgium, who want to profit politically from Albert's new love, but he just ignores them and that takes care of that. {SPOILERS END}There is little to distract from the spectacle that seems "Young Victoria's" main purpose. Given the fantastic locations where the crew was allowed to film, you'd understand a tendency to bask in long costumed sequences with "Zadok The Priest" playing overhead, but Vallée doesn't stay static. Changing up camera angles and perspectives, he keeps his camera on Blunt and lets her stares and reactions fill the screen.Most of the time she's ravishing. Sometimes she's even interesting. One moment, offering a rill in this otherwise still mill pond, features an argument with Albert where she screams at him about defying her queenly authority, even commanding him to stay so she can scream at him some more. He declines, saying he is concerned for the health of the unborn baby she carries, and leaves her to huff alone.Blunt in that scene asks you to not simply bathe in her beauty, but laugh at her character, succeeding well enough to make you think she has a future in movies long after her cheeks lose their rosy glow. "Young Victoria" seems mostly about those cheeks, though, and doesn't do badly by them.
