The Young Victoria (2009) = 7
Theatrical Release Poster
This was a good movie. It is a slow movie; mostly characterization but it kept my interest and I liked it.
It is about how Queen Victoria came to be queen and her struggles with being queen at such a young age. It is also a love story and a very sweet one.
Details
The casting and acting were perfect. I could hardly recognize Paul Bettany his hair and makeup looked great. The script was well written and for a slow movie it moved at an even pace with no lulls. The costumes were extremely well done and won a the Oscar for costume design. Victoria’s aunt had the most beautiful clothes and hats.
I suggest you see it. It is available to rent.

I really liked this movie too. It’s very sweet. I enjoyed that it was slower because I could follow it, some period pieces are too fast and it’s harder to catch everything that’s happening.
