Victoria and Abdul Film Review: Grey Audience Special
BBC Films production.
Based on a true story (mostly). This is a film about the controversial friendship between Queen Victoria and a Muslim 'coin carrier' Abdul. Abdul is awarded the role of presenting the coin at a Royal banquet simply because he is tall, a friendship develops and he is promoted very quickly within the household and much to the annoyance of the other staff.
This is Britain doing what it does best, great performances, great costumes, and great cinematography. Judy Dench is amazing as always.
I was not expecting much humour, but this film very funny in places, particularly during the first hour. The downside is the politics at the time, which can obviously linked to current political affairs, especially Brexit.

The BBC can be so left wing!
6/10.
