In the late 19th century, Queen Victoria finds an unlikely acquaintance in a significantly younger Indian teacher. Judi Dench is an actress whose mere presence is sufficient to watch a movie, but her motivations to strike a relationship with a socially inferior constituent of the British Empire in such a astoundingly racist court, are quite vague. How come only she is so enlightened? Does she have a crush on this man, or just feels indebted for his teachings? Either way, is offering him such high honors considered ... wise? These ambiguities are never resolved, and the viewer is abandoned in confusion.
