Review of The King (2019)

By Johnny Oleksinski (478) for New York Post (6,650) on 10 Oct 2019

Not so good is Lily-Rose Depp as French princess Catherine. Say what you will about francophile Johnny Depp — he’s never boring…

Review of The King (2019)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 10 Oct 2019

Review of The King (2019)

By Constance Grady (10) for Vox (725) on 10 Oct 2019

Mostly, The King is about the corrupting influences of power, and the idea that war, perhaps especially Renaissance war, is an inhuman, brutal…

Review of The King (2019)

By Jake Coyle (526) for The Associated Press (882) on 10 Oct 2019

It’s a movie best seen less as a historical epic and more as a metaphor for a rising young movie star coming up in a culture he aims to subvert…

Review of The King (2019)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 10 Oct 2019

What Michôd never manages to make clear is what we are to make of this version’s nationalism, its glorification of war, its ambivalence…

Review of The King (2019)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 09 Oct 2019

With the Bard’s words, Henry roused his soldiers to action: “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.” With this mediocrity, it’s…

Review of The King (2019)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 07 Oct 2019

The unholy clash of pageantry and squalor is finely framed; warriors in silvery helmets, shot from high above, and gleaming in the murk, resemble…

Review of The King (2019)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Sep 2019

With its pummeling scenes of mud-and-blood combat, its majestic, nearly monochrome widescreen images and its beautifully broody Nicholas Britell…

Review of The King (2019)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 04 Sep 2019

As indebted to the mood and visual language of Game of Thrones as it is to the Bard’s texts, Michôd provides finely worked entertainment…

Review of The King (2019)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 03 Sep 2019

Historical epics are rarely light on their feet, but The King sets new standards in the field of galumphing: the film moves like a rhinoceros…

By Christina Newland (21) for The Playlist (3,871) on 03 Sep 2019

In spite of all the reasons that this film should have been another Outlaw King – silly and self-important – it manages to cleverly duck…

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Time (1,811) on 03 Sep 2019

By Phil De Semlyen (265) for Time Out (7,510) on 03 Sep 2019

Sure, some of the historical detail is terrible (did Henry V really get crowned topless…
