have to have someone hold your hand whenever walk up or down stair . have others taste your food before you eat it . face an over bearing mother . these be only a few of the obstacle which the young victoria have to deal with in this film ( there also the various power struggle go on and as well a attempt on her life ) . needless to say and it make for very fascinating and informative viewing . i have only previously see emily blunt in the devil wear prada ( and little else ) . a she be in that film and she be once again the standout here . i be extremely impressed with her portrayal of the young victoria and and think she handle the role very well . she make the transition from the young victoria we meet at the start of the film to the queen victoria she become later entirely believable . blunt be perfectly cast in the role and show all the different side ( from the vulnerable and to the strong and from the young victoria who make mistake to the queen who take control ) . not enough can be say about emily blunt in this role . she quite simply exquisite and command your attention every second she on screen . she keep you transfix up to and include the final shot of the film . rupert friend prof to also be well cast a victoria love interest ( and eventual husband ) and prince albert . the actor have nice chemistry and you absolutely believe in their developing relationship . they have their disagreement and but you can tell that they be in love . blunt and friend be excellent in every scene that they share and keep you interested in what be happen between victoria and albert . the other actor in the film be also very good . paul bettany a lord melbourne and miranda richardson a the duchess of kent and mark strong a sir john conroy and jim broadbent a king william . there be not a single bad performance in this film . the less focused upon people be well portray also and give what little screen time they have . even victoria dog ( a cavalier king charles spaniel name dash ) be memorable and make an impact in the film . although the movie do tend to skip more than a few aspect of victoria life especially at the end and instead tell u what happen ( with her and albert ) on screen and what matter the most be what we actually see . this be and after all and a film about the young victoria ( not the middle age victoria and nor the old victoria ) . while there be some embellishment make on history with this film and it remain focus on what it set out to do which be tell u the story of how the young princess rise to power . the movie look amazing and the costume emily blunt wear be visually stunning and the music only add to the film and never detracts from it . it exceptionally shot and and unlike a lot of film these day and this movie be actually a good length and a it doesn not run on so long that you lose interest or feel that it needlessly be draw out . it go without say that what make this film so great be emily blunt . she in fine form here and turn in another excellent performance and elevate this film above what it might have be and have another actress be cast in this rather important or historic role . this be one finely craft film and with excellent performance that should definitely be see . if you have an appreciation for a fascinating look at a woman who be extremely significant in history and this be a must see .
