My thoughts:
Oh I actually enjoyed this one! Haha, I knew it would happen one day. I always pick the most boring movies based on a book. But this one worked.
Judi Dench was great as Victoria. So sassy and tired. Poor Queen Victoria!
Ali Fazal was great as Abdul Karim and well he sure was fine to look at like good old Vicky said ;)
Eddie Izzard, oh I totally saw him as Bertie, honestly applauds there.
So yes great cast! And I even laughed a few times.
The story is about how Victoria develops a friendship with a clerk from India. He teachers her Urdu and more. And she confides in him. Because he real, and not like the rest.
This one I can actually recommend.
