Above expectations but has its flaws

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2020)

I watched this film as I had very little if not no knowledge about Victoria´s life and personality.
During the first half, I was quite impressed with the performances by Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend, slightly more by the latter as I had seen him in completely different roles and really did not expect him here.
During the second half. Rupert Friend made the film from my perspective as we see a loving and sensitive Prince Albert while Victoria seems to be angry and impulsive. Maybe was she but I must admit that, overall, I did not like Victoria.
I was also surprised to see that it is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée that I really appreciated for ´Demolition´, ´Big Little Lies´ and ´Wild´. There are very good moments in his direction, with some fadings to show the intimisy between Victoria and Albert.
As I am not an historian, I can only trust the accuracy of the events but for spending a lot of time in the museums, I can salute the set and the costumes.
I am rating it 7 as I wasn´t completely convinced with the performance by Emily Blunt that did not really make me like Victoria. But maybe was she not that likeable.
