Okay, I know a few of these reviews aren't good, and I suppose I can see someone unfamiliar with the history of the time period and political intrigues being a little like "what�... 39;s going on?" The purpose of this movie is explicitly the developing love between Victoria and Albert. It is not meant to be a full history lesson. With that said... I LOVED IT! I am a history major, and had read plenty about Victoria and Albert, and all the political intrigues ranging from relations to other Royals to the troubles in British-Victorian India. As a history major I am well aware that there were slight poetic licenses taken, but the movie was true to the heart of the reality! There was great acting, and the film really delivered!!

Loved Emily Blunt in this movie. What a beautiful young actress!! She is developing her acting style wonderfully with each movie she makes. The costumes and makeup was excellent. After watching thi... s movie, it made me go home to check the history online for Queen Victoria. Hers and Prince Albert's love story is facinating. The movie was so very close to the history records. Full Review

Acivilwar Very well written, filmed and acted. Truly a two handkerchief movie. Terrific early nineteenth century setting, great close-up filming which helped show the emotions of the actors. Even two... really despicable "bad-guys." Blunt and Friend were amazingly believeable. I'll see it again. Great for any age. Full Review
