New Plaza Cinema: Mrs. Brown

Mrs. Brown – Judi Dench, in a magnificent, flawless performance, plays a desolate Queen Victoria after her beloved Prince Albert’s death. A Scot, John Brown, goads her into living again in this witty, thoughtful portrait of royal life. As a close friendship turns into love, Victoria becomes the gossip of the day. Their intimate relationship merits the Queen the nickname of “Mrs. Brown” among the scandalized British populace.
