Review: A ROYAL AFFAIR transcends love and the period piece

To be frank, A Royal Affair is easily one of the best films I have seen this year, and there is little doubt it will end up in my top five. I say this with such conviction for a few reasons. Firstly, I love period pieces and all of the basic elements are not only gorgeously presented, but enhanced greatly by the layers of political, historical and dramatic truths in the film. Secondly, there is so much more happening in A Royal Affair and it is all balanced with deft direction and style, and lastly the incredible performances from the three protagonists not only add to the drama of the film, but actually go lengths to envision the true historical accounts of 1760′s Copenhagen.  …
