Movie Reviews of Victoria & Albert
Movie Review: A great love story
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a student of English history so I was blissfully ignorant of some of the inaccuracies that other reviewers have mentioned. So, for me, this was pure enjoyment. The cast is excellent and the visuals are yummy.
We follow the progression of the couple from their first indifferent meeting, to Victoria's statement that she never will marry, to their second meeting when she was thunderstruck by him. I found his relationship to her very interesting. He married out of duty and worried that she loved him more than he loved her. Was this accurate I wonder? The scene when he acknowledged to her, and to himself, the depth of his love for her, is very moving. Her response was that it just took him a little longer to fall in love than it took her....very sweet!
If you're not too picky about historical accuracy you will probably fall in love with Victoria and Albert.
Movie Review: Surprising ...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a depiction of the ins and outs of the political aspect of Queen Victoria's reign. It is a love story where balancing duty with depth of feeling, professional with personal relationship, is fully fleshed out.
All actors involved deliver great performances. Great chemistry between the lead actors makes the story come alive. It was wonderful to picture the castle, which looks so cold and austere from the outside, as the home of a warm and loving and joyful family. Children gleefully running through the halls on holidays. A father playing with his children. A mother looking on with shining eyes.
This movie shows the personal side to the monarchy. It was a delight to watch. I hated to see it end.
Add it to your DVD library and prepare yourself for a few hours of total enjoyment.
Movie Review: You'll Like This One - I Promise!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife gave me this movie for Christmas. At first, I was skeptical about it. How could I be interested in Queen Victoria and her marriage to Albert? I had been to the V & A Museum in London and that was great, but could I watch a three hour movie covering their years?
We watched this in two sittings and I enjoyed the first disk so much I couldn't wait for the second one. The movie is well done. Excellent acting and period costumes and decor. But, the story line was the best. It was such a pleasure to watch a movie where the husband and wife quarreled but were still faithful to one another. Neither had a romance on the side and this was a pleasant change from this type movie.
I strongly recommend you buy this movie for your husband or wife. Watch it together. You will love it -- I promise.
Movie Review: Victoria and Albert
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie for so many reasons, but first and foremost is the classic love story between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of England. Theirs is a love story for the ages. I love period pieces and I love English history and this is one of my all time top 10 favorite movies. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone whether you love English history or if you just love a great love story. Victoria Hamilton and Jonathan Firth play Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to perfection and are both superb actors. A very well acted movie with a great story. I would highly recommend.Movie Review: This is a beautiful love story
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I watched Victoria & Albert was on A&E. I only watched about twenty minutes. So when I bought the movie, I took a chance on not liking it. But I quickly became satisfied. Johnathan Firth did wonderfully as Albert of Saxe-Coburg, and as did the actress that played Victoria. An epic love story is one where the characters can stand the test of time, and Victoria and Albert did so. Just watch on A&E if you don't feel as chancing as I did.
