Description

A Royal Affair is the true story of an ordinary man who wins the queen’s heart and starts a revolution. Centering on the intriguing love triangle between the ever more insane Danish King Christian VII (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard), the royal physician who is a man of enlightenment and idealism Johann Struensee (Mads Mikkelsen) and the young but strong Queen Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander), A Royal Affair is the gripping tale of brave idealists who risk everything in the pursuit of freedom for their people, and of the passionate and forbidden romance that changed an entire nation.

    There film grazes an important subject of how difficult and sometime painfully unrewarding it is to try to do something good in this world. I wish that subject would have been developed more. With all respects to the actors, for me, the acting was not always convincing, as the consequence the movie was not very engaging.

  • Such a fabulous movie!!!

    I agree this is an amazing story; even more so knowing such events really took place. What terrible irony and fate to fall upon people.
