VICTORIA AND ABDUL



Kind of a true story about Queen Victoria and her unexpected friendship in the later years of her rule with a young clerk named Abdul who travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee.  He is surprised to find favor with the Queen herself.  As she questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge a devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy.  As the friendship deepens, The Queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes.  Just a delightful movie and true Judi Dench performance.  I give it a 7.  Stars Judi Dench and Ali Fazal.
