The Young Victoria

I just finished watching this movie. 


Here's what it's about: 
  Princess Victoria is turning eighteen and is the only heir to the English throne, so everyone wants to have some influence over her before she even ascends the throne.
Her mom wants to be the regent (a ruler in place of the monarch in cases where the monarch is incapable or too young to rule) and so keeps her away from the throne. She is treated like a golden bird in a cage and her mom's advisor threatens her and tries to force her to sign the regency papers. She meets Prince Albert, who is a distant cousin and nephew to the King of Belgium. He's been brought up to one day marry her.
