Review of The Happy Prince (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 22 Oct 2018

Review of The Happy Prince (2018)

Everett directs his debut feature with such a heavy hand, using a lot of expository dialogue and coming up with artificial scenes that make…

Review of The Happy Prince (2018)

Everett's admiration for Wilde far outweighs his inspiration in turning one of the most colorful characters of the 19th century into a bloated,…

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 18 Oct 2018

By Brad Wheeler (426) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 18 Oct 2018
