- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2025An excellent movie for history lovers. Great acting and follows the story as we know it.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2025Great story
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025The story of Young Victoria is a somewhat fictionalized account of Queen Victorias younger years, and her introduction and subsequent life with Prince Albert whom she was devoted to from shortly after their first meeting. The account was written by Dutchess Sarah Ferguson and I feel she probably had great insight and access to archives allowing her to write such a pointed account of Victorias early life. And it seems that life was not an easy one. The particular accounts of her family, being led by her mother and a friend of her mother named John Conroy, wanting to "promise" Victoria to the proper suitor seemed to be in their sole interest with very little consideration to Victoria herself. Luckily their choice was, in fact, a good match. The DVD is a magical one showing all the majesty of Royal life including hierarchy, responsibility, etc along with the fun portrayal of proper, clothes, castles, jewels, etc. You can't go wrong making the purchase of this DVD. YES, some of us still do enjoy good ole DVDs. I appreciate the online availability of movies like this.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2010I thoroughly enjoyed this film! Emily Blunt gave a stunning performance as Victoria, but Rupert Friend totally steals the show as Albert, in many ways a much more challenging role, I think. Albert was a complex, private person and his relationship with Victoria is all the more interesting, because while he dutifully pursued marriage with Victoria as his destined "career", he did not expect to fall in love or to be loved in their marriage. Friend does a marvelous job of portraying a very reserved, rational man suprised by his own powerful feelings, and of showing Albert's very dry but keen sense of humor. Many biographers/historians have suggested that Albert did not love Victoria as she did him, but I think this has much more to do with Albert's reserved, Germanic public persona than any historical reality, as is amply demonstrated in his letters and Victoria's journals. Friend does a marvelous job of revealing an Albert who loved Victoria deeply and was willing to make great sacrifices for her, but who also had the strength to stand up to her strong will and fiery temper, and not be pushed around. Both actors obviously did their homework on Victoria and Albert and I think very much captured the essence of their personalities. I also very much enjoyed Jim Broadbent and Harriet Walter's marvelous, feisty performances as King William and Queen Adelaide.
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!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2025I love this movie, good quality
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025A nicely done film with a good cast about the first few decades of Victoria's life and her romance with Albert.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2010I am totally baffled that THE YOUNG VICTORIA did not achieve acting awards from BAFTA and the Academy Awards USA but it DID win BAFTA Awards for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hair, and Sandy Powell got her third Academy Award for Best Achievement in Costume Design.
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.

caseygirlReviewed in Canada on May 2, 20105.0 out of 5 stars Believable and touching
I thoroughly enjoy historical/period pieces based on true stories and also pure fiction.This is one of the best historical movies I have seen in a long time. The acting is superb. I think Emily Blunt should of won best actor for this role. She IS Queen Victoria. All parts were played extremely well. I have seen other movies of a young Queen Victoria but this is far better. It explains her flaws and difficulties at being made Queen at the young age of 18. You develop a sincere affection for these people and you realize despite the fact they lived many years ago and when you see pictures of Queen Victoria nowadays, you see her as an old overweight woman forgetting she once was a young girl who loved to dance and had the same hopes and dreams of all young women. It was interesting to learn of her restricted unhappy childhood which I had not seen depicted in other movies to this degree. all in all it is an excellent movie. I have bought it and will watch it over and over. If you like historical stories, this is for you. Highly recommended!!!

E.S.Reviewed in Germany on March 6, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Ein realistischer Film zum Träumen
Mein Lieblingsfilm, weil er einfach genial ist. Den kann man immer wieder schauen und auch Männer mögen ihn. Klar ist er romantisch, aber nicht unrealistisch und man kann wirklich einen Blick hinter die Fassaden der Königshäuser werfen und sieht auch die Nöte der Regierenden.
Auch schauspielerisch klasse, besonders Albert ist toll dargestellt.

形としては政略結婚でしたが、互いに惹かれていくヴィクトリア女王とアルバートの姿が印象的でした。また、あとがきだけでシーンはありませんでしたが、生涯を終える81歳までアルバートの服を大切に持っていたヴィクトリア女王の一途な想いに涙が溢れました。
