The Young Victoria was the one British period piece that I actually found entertaining this year. It was well written, well acted, and the pace was spot on.
Emily Blunt's portrayal of Victoria was perfect as she took us through the issues faced by a young, inexperienced queen. At times, I felt the need to rally behind her, and others, I wanted to offer her a hug.
Ultimately, it was the arrival of Prince Albert that made this film what it was. The chemistry between Albert and Victoria was very palpable.
FAVORITE SCENE: Albert shields Victoria from gunfire during a parade, taking the bullet himself. Later, when the doctor releases him into Victoria's care, she learns that Albert's love for her is much more important than anything offered by the crown.
Score: A
