Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A romantic drama in the Masterpiece Theater vein, 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). The film'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

Prince Albert is dead and Queen Victoria (Dench) is inconsolable). The servants don't know what to do. No one can get her out of her mourning.
Because her husband was so fond of him, Victoria sends for John Brown (Billy Connolly), a Scotsman who was one of her husband's attendants. Being a stubborn Scot, he doesn't take 'no' for an answer and waits out in the courtyard until Her Majesty finally decides to go out on a pony ride. Gradually, they develop a friendship--or is it more? That's ... Read More

The irrepresible Dame Judi Dench was truly launched as an international star in this film. Her brooding, angry portrayal of Queen Victoria stands out today, an age when queens abound like bunnies. Of crucial importance to this film is the portrayal of John Brown by Billy Connolly, truly his greatest film work. He was robbed of an Oscar here, only because this is an Exon-Mobil television production. The ambience, almost creepy until one recalls it's HER era (Vioctorian), is enthralling; dark, misty, then ... Read More

Great movie. Dame Judi Dench is one of the classiest and best actors of our time. She carries herself well and seems to closely portray the life of HM Queen Victoria. Great movie to add to your collection if you enjoy movies on the lives of royals both past and present.

How can you say Boring quickly? Borrring! Terrible. Billy connelly was the light in the film. Judy Dench was good in her role, but her role seems the same in every film you ever see with her. Gerard Butler, well um, it was interesting the jumping in the water scene. Every little bit, yet seemed excited to be in a film. The writing was so, so and the acting not so good. As for the historical significance, it was a bit murky.

British director John Madden's well-done 1997 opus stars Dame Judi Dench as Queen Victoria, the woman of an era, and concentrates on an unlikely (and almost certainly platonic) relationship that arose during her darkest years, those that came in the time between Albert's passing in 1861 and before the resurgence of royal popularity after her Golden Jubilee in 1887.
As Mrs. Brown opens, we are confronted with an emotionally-weakened Queen Victoria who is unlike the iconic figure of popular memory. ... Read More
