‘Victoria and Abdul’ can soon be yours to own
I get to see a lot of films each year. Many of them blend together. Yet once in a while I see a film that is different from the rest. Victoria and Abdul is one of those films. It definitely surprised me in many ways. I was able to get a review copy and here is what I thought of it.

I really liked Victoria and Abdul. The tale is a simple one, but is full of emotions and feelings that are real and genuine. The chemistry between Judi Dench and Ali Fazal is one of the things that make this movie so good. It also isn’t always clear what is going to happen next. In ‘Judi and Ali’ we get a behind the scenes look into the making of the film, and hear a lot from these actors on what made this film special to them. On ‘The Look of Victoria and Abdul’ we learn more about the locations, costumes and sets that helped bring this world to life.
