Starring Emily Blunt as the 18-year-old queen of England circa 1837, the film is a rich pastiche of first love, teen empowerment, fabulous fashion and fate. Together with Rupert Friend as Prince Albert, as we follow them through courtship, coronation and just beyond, they create a couple you'll want to see again. But until then, "The Young Victoria" is a great place to start. Read Sharkey's full review of "The Young Victoria" at the LA Times
The Young Victoria
As the only legitimate heir of England's King William, teenage Victoria (Emily Blunt) becomes caught up in the political machinations of her own family. Victoria's mother (Miranda Richardson) wants her to sign a regency order, while her Belgian uncle schemes to arrange a marriage between the future monarch and Prince Albert (Rupert Friend), the man who will become the love of her life.
