I found this to be an enthralling film concerning a part of history that many of us no nothing about. After the seventeenth century you are inclined to think that the royal court behaved in a more civilized manor. This film shows us that the scheming over a young eighteen year old was as great as that over the young Elizabeth I. The story however is that of love and for Victoria independence. Good costumes, splendid acting and feel of the time.
This is a nice movie to watch when you have nothing more substantial to watch. I found the flashing about from one scene to another rather irritating.
I am afraid they needed to try just that much harder to make a truly wonderful movie.
