    The Young Victoria (2009)

    " The Young Victoria is a very well-made if not especially memorable picture, moving with all the grace and steadfastness of a waltz Victoria and Albert share, but absent any urgency or anything particularly exclamatory." — Austin Chronicle

    The Blind Side (2009)
