Reviews for Mrs. Brown
A highly resonant testament to the redemptive power of love--one that transcends traditional romantic definitions.
Centering on a lesser-known chapter in the reign of Queen Victoria, this richly detailed drama about her intimate relationship with her servant that scandalized the country is extremely well-acted; Judi Dench deserves an Oscar nomination
