Rating: 5.0
A great love story
I'm not a student of English history so I was blissfully ignorant of some of the inaccuracies that other reviewers have mentioned. So, for me, this was pure enjoyment. The cast is excellent and the visuals are yummy.We follow the progression of the couple from their first indifferent meeting, to Victoria's statement that she never will marry, to their second meeting when she was thunderstruck by him. I found his relationship to her very interesting. He married out of duty and worried that she loved him more than he loved her. Was this accurate I wonder? The scene when he acknowledged to her, and to himself, the depth of his love for her, is very moving. Her response was that it just took him a little longer to fall in love than it took her....very sweet!If you're not too picky about historical accuracy you will probably fall in love with Victoria and Albert.
