Young Victoria was OK. It's quite a sweet love story, but not a deeply emotional one. I thought that largely was the result of trying to include too many historical or political aspects, often without really contributing to the story; or occassionally, where they did, the impact or connection to the personal stories was so tangential that it seemed rather forced. A film like The Queen showed that you pick just a one story from a complicated history, you care so much more about it and it's characters. Positive final comment: Emily Blunt is outrageously beautiful.

Movies watched in 2010: 2
...of which the reviews cheapened women actresses: 1
