The Young Victoria (2009) ***

Excellent histrical drama about the early years of the famous British queen. Emily Blunt is terrific in the title role. Despite some minor inaccuracies (Prince Albert was never injured in an assassination attempt, and Lord Melbourne - played by 37-year-old Paul Bettany - was 60 years old when Victoria and Albert were married), it's a fascinating history lesson.
