The Young Victoria (2009)

Victoria is the only heir to the throne. Her mother,controlled by her lover, tries to make Victoria sign a regency act relinquishing her right to rule. Concurrently to that, a cousin from Belgium courts her. Although he is part of another plan to control her, the two sort of get along.

Yawn for the story, wow for the costumes and sets. It's dumbed down history, excised of interesting subplots for the sake of pleasing today's viewers.
