Who’S It For? Period piece. Did you just get excited? This early 1800’s film is a powerful piece of historical drama that I was unaware of, and it should please those who are still too excited by the mention of “period piece.”
Overall
Young Victoria is never given a reason for her isolation. The soap opera of Kings, Queens and royalty is always rich subject matter.
