Cinema previously celebrated an aging Queen Victoria with MRS. BROWN, but this costume drama, from Martin Scorsese and the makers of GOSFORD PARK and THE DEPARTED, looks at the monarch's early life. Emily Blunt (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA) stars as the queen in this story that chronicles her rise to the crown and her romance with Prince Albert. THE YOUNG VICTORIA also stars Oscar winner Jim Broadbent, Mark Strong, Paul Bettany, Miranda Richardson, and Rupert Friend.

Nominated for THREE Academy Awards: Best Art Direction, Best Make-Up and Best Costume! Nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress (Emily Blunt); and winner of the Critics Choice Award for Best Costume Design!

Director Jean-Marc Vallée's images have a creamy stateliness, but this is no gilded princess fantasy -- it's the story of a budding ruler who learns to control her surroundings, and Blunt makes that journey at once authentic and relevant. -- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The production is full of such electrifying moments, ensuring that there will be no cobwebs in this history exercise. -- Richard Mowe, Boxoffice Magazine

Blunt, her eyes sparking, her manner playful, smart, and proud, shines in the title role. If the film itself isn't brilliant, its star most definitely is. -- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

I didn't quite believe that this tiny girl could become the most powerful woman in the history of the world, but at the time perhaps no one believed it. -- Kyle Smith, New York Post
