Emily Blunt plays Queen Victoria. This movie is about her being a teenager, knowing that on the day she turns 18, she will be queen. The movie chronicles just the first few years of Victoria's reign. I found it very interesting, I didn't know much about Queen Victoria before I saw the movie and learned a lot. Like the way she was treated and how controlled her life was before she became queen (someone had to hold her hand walking down stairs and sample her food before she could eat). She was also the first queen to live in Buckingham Palace, she had 9 children, and after her husband died, she mourned him for 40 by wearing black and laying his clothes everyday!
This movie was a little slow, but told a great story and the scenes and costumes were gorgeous. If you like period movies, this is one you need to add to your list.
