Bel film ma...

Un bel film, con meravigliosi costumi, una bella interpretazione della Blunt, raffinata delicatezza nella narrazione della storia d'amore fra la sovrana e il principe Alberto. Tuttavia un po' debole il taglio dato... Manca un incisivo punto di vista cui appassionarsi: non approfondite nè la politica, nè le dinamiche di corte, talvolta congedati in modo leggero anche i dettagli della storia d'amore. Sebbene il lato sentimentale sia preponderante, non emerge in modo graffiante. Nel complesso comunque continua »

Poor Little Royal Girl: A Melancholy Monarch

In one portrait of the young Queen Victoria, the 18-year-old who ascended the British throne in 1837 and gave the Victorians their name, she sits in her coronation robes staring straight ahead with a somewhat glazed expression. Her arms are white and fashionably plump, her dress cream and splashed with gold. Her coronation robe, a massive ermine-and-red-velvet cloak, spills off her bared shoulders and onto the ground, creating a luxurious puddle. She looks a bit bored — heavy hangs the crown, or at least those opulent threads. »

Love story alla corte d'Inghilterra

"Victoria, les jeunes années d'une reine" : portrait hagiographique Victoria était une grande reine, c'est un fait établi. Ce film propose de montrer qu'elle fut aussi une personne épatante, bien plus que ne le suggère l'image de veuve vêtue de noir qu'elle a laissée à la postérité. Produit par Martin Scorcese et Sarah Ferguson, la duchesse d'York, il fait de la souveraine une héroïne de conte de fées. Femme de tête et femme de cœur, passionnée de musique et de danse, pétrie de convictions sociales, on la découvre adolescente, peu de temps avant son accession au trône, alors que l'on cherche à la marier. »

With a transcendent Emily Blunt in the title role and Rupert Friend splendid as Prince Albert, director Jean-Marc Vallée has created a terrific period piece that retains a modern-day freshness.

"The Young Victoria," starring Emily Blunt as the 18-year-old queen of England circa 1837, is such a rich pastiche of first love, teen empowerment, fabulous fashion and fate that you almost wish a few brooding vampires had been thrown in for good measure, since that's the crowd that should fall head over heels for this movie. Which isn't to suggest that "Young Victoria" is sophomoric. It is anything but. What filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée has done in this delicious historical romance is capture that hot blush of pure emotion that comes before kisses, sex, heartbreak and the rest can dilute it. »

Free and Uneasy

No such mania infects “The Young Victoria,” Jean-Marc Vallée’s account of the monarch’s early years, which veers in the other direction. From the start, it feels handsome, steady, and stuck; the ties that bind the historical bio-pic are no looser than those which constrain a royal personage, and the frustration to which Victoria would later admit (“I had led a very unhappy life as a child—had no scope for my very violent feelings of affection”) is legible in the face of Emily Blunt, who takes the title role. »
