One aspect of the film I found a bit jarring was the portrayal of Victoria's relationship with King Leopold and Baron Stockmar as being rather distant and hostile. While Victoria was quite determined to live her own life and not be a pawn in their (or anyone else's) political schemes, she actually had a very affectionate relationship with her uncle Leopold both before and after her marriage, and Stockmar was a lifelong friend and confidant of both Victoria and Albert and helped them through many of their early marital difficulties. Their manipulative attitude toward Albert and their obsessive focus on grooming him for marriage to Victoria was historically accurate, and Rupert Friend's portrayal of the young Albert's attitude toward their "training" is one of the funniest parts of the film.
I highly recommend Stanley Weintraub's biographies of both Victoria and Albert for those wanting the real historical background for the film. Sarah Ferguson's book Victoria and Albert: Life at Osborne House is also a well-researched and beautifully illustrated book about their marriage and family life.
There is a bit of minor chronological rearrangement to cram about 5 years of historical material into less than 2 hours, for which I think Julian Fellowes can be easily forgiven, and some slight embellishment of real events for dramatic effect (eg Prince Albert did attempt to shield Victoria in the assassination attempt but was not actually shot, Albert was not present at Victoria's coronation) but I didn't find it detracted from the story. Much of the script is actually verbatim historical record (King William's drunken outburst at the banquet, Conroy's attempt to force Victoria to sign an order making him Regent) and Fellowes included these bits unaltered, to his credit--they are fabulously dramatic, just as they are.
Costuming is gorgeous and well-researched, the film is a visual treat. A real must-see!
This never to be repeated film deals with the early life of Queen Victoria and it uses the Windsor Castle banquet hall, Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace and even Westminster Abbey for the spectacular coronation scene. Canadian Patrice Vermette and Brit Maggie Gray were meticulous in duplicating set design for blue blood residences of 1830's Britain, Germany, and Belgium and the original music by Ilan Eshkeri is too beautiful for words.Anyone who views the film and misses the Sinead O'Connor song that is played at the end has truly lost something of great beauty.
I had never really seen Emily Blunt or Rupert Friend in other films before this so I had no illusions about their looking and acting like the perfect regal couple who did their best to both make up for coming from dysfunctional royal families.
Thomas Kretschmann is believeable as the very dominant and aggressive first King of the Belgians. Mark Strong is physically overpowering as the domineering alcoholic assistant to the Queen's Mother played by Miranda Richardson and Harriet Walter plays a sympathetic and wise royal counsel as Queen Adelaide whom very few people knew anything about before viewing this film.
I tend to love period films but this film in particular truly captures the essence of Queen Victoria's early life in the royal "fish bowl". IT IS A MUST SEE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE ROYAL FAMILY, ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE BRITAIN OF THE 1830's, OR ANYONE INTERESTED IN TRULY WELL MADE HISTORICAL FILMS.
I almost forgot to mention that as a Canadian I am extremely proud that Quebec director Jean-Marc Vallee was brought over to Britain as someone perhaps freer than a British citizen of preconceived notions about Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. As a Quebec sovereigntist, he doubtless had none of the possible sycophantic admiration for the blood royal that a European director might have. At the very least, he brought a Commonwealth perspective on Canada's and Britain's royal family that freed him a bit perhaps to portray this couple simply as intense HUMAN BEINGS AND ROMANTIC LOVERS who happened to be caught up in the constitutional controversies of 1830's Britain.
