Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend star in the lavish historical drama, THE YOUNG VICTORIA. Resolved to establish her authority over those who rule in her stead, a young and inexperienced Queen Victoria (Blunt) draws strength from the love of Albert (Friend), the handsome prince who’s stolen her heart. Based on the courtship and early reign of England’s longest-serving monarch, THE YOUNG VICTORIA is a majestic tale of romance, intrigue and power.

Beautifully Done Period Piece
Emily Blunt shows why Meryl Streep said that she was the most talented young actress that she's ever worked with in this intimate look into one of England's most famous monarchs. Blunt gives us a well rounded and well researched performance, something missing from our recent movie history. In scenes that display a 17 year old Victoria backhandedly snubbing the man who would later become the love of her life, she somehow manages to win our understanding and sympathy.
Most people only see Queen Victoria as she was in her later life, as a recluse widow, solemn and gaunt, but this production brings life and vivid color to her little talked of beginnings. As Rupert Friend (Prince Albert) said in the special features, "we forget that she was once a 16 year old girl who loved to dance." The production also throws into light how much Victoria and Albert needed eachother to make the era one of the greatest in Britain's history. She needed his coolheaded logic and gentle reassurance to temper her stubbornness, and he needed her energy and drive to get his plans off the drawing board (hinted at quite literally in one scene).
All in all, a beautifully done film that isn't the traditional love story. Most romantic dramas nowadays end when the young couple finally gets together after a long suffering, but in The Young Victoria, the wedding is only the midway point. It guides us through the daze of the honeymoon to the first unintentional insult, the first disagreement, down to the first blowout fight, but always returns to the fact of their mutual all-encompassing love for eachother.
Lovely movie
I loved this movie. I don't think it is the most historically accurate, but it is very entertaining and beautiful to watch.
Perhaps the best
This is probably the best period movie I have seen to date. The actors are perfectly cast, costumes are gorgeous, scenery and sets are outstanding. This is a love story that continued for the entire life of Queen Victoria. The movie inspired me to later watch the dvd "Mrs. Brown." Young Victoria is definitely 5 stars*****
One of My Personal Favorite Movies
Great cinamatography, great costumes, great music, great mood, touching story, and excellent acting. All the more pleasing because it is mostly true. I could watch it over and over again.
Excellent storytelling and and acting, also quite compelling
The Young Victoria tells the story of Queen Victoria in the first years of her reign and just before she took the throne. This is a unique vantage point as many past stories have focused on her as an older woman, mourning the loss of Prince Albert. While this is primarily a love story, it shows how both Victoria and Albert became lovers as well as co-rulers of Great Britain.
Granted this is not designed to be a documentary, such events as Albert being shot by a would be assassin never actually happened, but what is important is that the relationship between Victoria and Albert became one of true partnership and the closeness the two felt for each other becomes obvious and makes the pain felt in some films such as Mrs. Brown seem so much stronger.
This is a very good movie. It features great acting, wonderful writing and a true understanding of what life was like for Victoria growing up. I would strongly recommend this to anyone.
