Comment
An Indian clerk (Ali Fazal) is sent to England to present a medal to Quenn Victoria (Judi Dench). An unlikely friendship builds up between the man and the queen much to the disapproval of her family and the court. The story comes across as superficial sa it mentions in passing the Empire, the uprising, the queen befriending a muslim, but it has a good performance from Judi Dench as Queen Victoria and good support from a strong British cast (Michael Gambon, Olivia Willimas, Fenella Woolgar).
