The Young Victoria

The Duchess on casual Friday. Altogether average period piece, with mundane plot and decent performances to be Blunt. Distractions included occasionally dysfunctional Barry Lyndon-esque lighting and strange Scorsese-style anachronistic editorial flourishes. Also hurt by oddly punctuated title cards and pre-credits history textbook. Bettany and Strong are perfect for this, period.
