Victoria and Abdul (PG)

Our January main film will be Victoria and Abdul...

The extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria's  remarkable rule. When Abdul Karim, a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favor with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy.

'Packaged tightly with endearing charm and soul-gratifying beauty, this British drama eschews all aristocratic stuffiness, favoring humor and earned poignancy.' Courtney Howard, Fresh Fiction

'A film of solid craftsmanship led by another royally magnificent performance by Judi Dench.' Peter Howell, Toronto Star
