The Young Victoria
DELIGHTFUL costume drama that lifts the curtain on the pomp and pageantry of royal life to capture the human side of Britain’s longest reigning monarch.
Emily Blunt conveys the stubbornness and naivety of the teenager destined to be Queen and is backed by a rich supporting cast (Jim Broadbent, Rupert Friend, Miranda Richardson etc) and a witty script.
A regal British entertainment.
VERDICT: 4/5
