Victoria & Abdul
Available on
National treasure Dame Judi Dench is charmingly cantankerous as the ageing Queen in Stephen Frears' light touch, but deeply-felt, drama. The British director combines sweeping landscapes and sumptuous production design with an intimate insight into the inner workings of the monarchy, and how loneliness affects us all.
