Fine Judi Dench starring drama.
This discreet drama failed to get to me emotionally. Full Review
Interesting, but didn't love it.
Dench's Victoria has a full palette of pent-up emotions bubbling inside her like a pressure-cooker; one can feel the power of her anguish... Full Review
Explores the platonic friendship between the Queen of the British empire and a Scottish servant. Full Review
Unfortunately, the performances are not enough to carry this film, which feels much longer than its 83 minutes running time. Full Review
