Emily Blunt is very much excellent in this film, and definitely deserving of her Golden Globe nomination. Also, technically (especially when it comes to costume design and art direction/set decoration) the film excels.

Also, very predictable and very "royal" in a way of character building. Yes, royalty is supposed to be all "royal" to the "common people" but they are real people, too, and that came across rather rarely, mainly due to the sceenplay.

Emily Blunt does give a good performance, while Rupert Friend plays prince Albert. It may be regarded as a little sentimental perhaps but I think it's a pretty decent film. all in all - just not exactly greatly memorable but equally not bad. I should note that there were quite a few instances of hushed dialogue, which I found a bit hard to follow entirely and so might frustrate some.… Expand
