The Young Victoria

Director: Jean-Marc Vallee

Actors I know in it: Emily Blunt

Rating: five stars

This film is a wonderful feel-good chick-flick. Especially when you realize what all the political hullabaloo is about! Seriously??? Wow. What was especially fun for me watching this film was learning about Victoria herself. I know a lot about the time period, but next to nothing about her. And it turns out she has influenced so much of the world I currently live in, it's incredible.

The one thing that was kind of annoying was the bedroom scenes. Fortunately it's completely clean. But they made their point with the first one, why bother showing the exact same thing again? It just makes her seem...weaker...when really she was an amazing powerful woman in an age and country where she was basically the only one.

The biggest inconsistency of the film was how fantastically gorgeous they made Victoria, I mean, Emily Blunt. In real life, not so much.
