Story of Queen Victoria (Jude Dench) following the death of her beloved Prince Albert. In an extended period of deep mourning Victoria attempts to isolate herself and preserve her grief, to counter this her advisers summon from Balmoral her husbands loyal huntsman John Brown (Billy Connolly) in the belief the company of highlanders is good for you. In time Brown becomes Victoria's most trusted servant and friend.
Beautiful looking period piece drama with a great performance by Judi Dench, the pace is a little slow a few times but this is still a film very much worth seeing.
One scene includes the intrusion of the 19th century version of paparazzi during a family picnic, until Brown chases the off (historically accurate or a comment on the present?).
