Victoria and Abdul tells the tale I’ve never heard of before, where Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young Indian clerk named Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal).
Directed by Stephen Frears, and based on the novel by Shrabani Basu, it also stars Olivia Williams, Judi Dench, Michael Gambon, Eddie Izzard, Tim Pigott-Smith, Adeel Akhtar, Fenella Woolgar, Julian Wadham and Simon Callow.
Victoria and Abdul is released in the UK on September 15th, which is one week before the US get to see this.
