Amazon.co.uk Review:
A romantic drama, this John Madden film looks at the relationship between Queen Victoria and John Brown, a commoner who, though a servant, becomes her closest friend and confidant. As such, he proves the catalyst to bring her back into public life and out of her private mourning for the late Prince Albert. But the closeness of their friendship sets tongues wagging about the impropriety of what appears to be an affair between queen and commoner (an issue the film never directly addresses). Mrs Brown's charm lies in the flinty give-and-take between the wonderfully starchy Judi Dench as Victoria and the robust Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, here playing it straight as a strong-willed Scotsman who comes to enjoy the power he wields by virtue of having the queen's ear. Antony Sher is also striking as Prime Minister Disraeli, in a performance that all but shimmers with unspoken malice. --Marshall Fine
Rating:
- Special friendship
A clever title and with results a clever story.
This is no doubt a lovely version of Queen Victoria's life after Albert's death and the government pressure: as praised by many previous reviews.
The story may suggest infidelity, though I see a beautiful friendship, respect and above all loyalty. There is much to gain aside public's love of scandals. There is also Class division, identity, pride, honesty and power. A battle between the mind and heart of a powerful woman, ... Read More
Rating: - A Class!!!!!!!!!
Fantasic drama with a great will she wont storey line. Shows an insight to a great queens private life. A must watch!!
Rating:
- When Two Worlds Meet.....
A superb adaptation of the story of Queen Victoria and royal servant John Brown, brought together by the untimely death of Prince Albert.After Alberts death it seems Victoria was inconsolable and as Albert was fond of John Brown he was called on to help.
When John arrives the contrast between him and the royal advisors surrounding the Queen is instantly apparent.Where they are only interested in getting the Queen to return to official duties John Brown is interested in the actual welfare of ... Read More

- Weak Historical Drama. Billy Conelly excells.
Billy carries this otherwise lightwieght historical drama. There are some great scenes, but the characterisation of Victoria wasn't concvicing. The director also lost me with the suggestions of infidelity. Victoria had had umpteen children, I doubt she fancied another one. The Mrs Brown comments were an attack on her status not her fidelity. Furthermore Disraeli is badly misrepresented as a cynical politician which he certainly wasn't. Finally the story suddenly jumps to an unsatisfying ending. ... Read More
Rating: - "I think I am someone who can only feel things when they are alive to me."
After Prince Albert died in 1859, his memory was so alive to Queen Victoria, and her mourning for him was so dramatic that she virtually retired from the throne. Three years after Prince Albert's death, while the Queen was living in seclusion at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, John Brown was hired to tend her horses. A rough, virile man, far more accustomed to life in the wild than in royal castles, Brown treated the queen with respect, but he also treated her as a fellow human being, refusing to obey ...
