I guess you know the story, Dame Judi Dench plays the elderly Queen Victoria who becomes enamoured with a young handsome servant Abdul, who had been sent from India to present a coin to the Queen.
Depressed and lonely, the friendship develops and he helps to teach her about the Indian culture and language. Family and staff though are suspicious especially as they spend so much time together.
Wonderful performances, sensational interiors, beautiful costumes and lots of actors of all ages without any botox in view all make it my type of favorite watch. 4.5/5

Can't wait to see it. It looks like it might be a bit more colourful than Mr Brown which I did enjoy. Love Judi Dench.
I'd like to see it, but I worry that it gives an unusual setting to a story.
