Do not see it for a documentary on the history of Henry V, see it for Chalamet and RPatz, who both give next level performances. Also it isn’t historically accurate (never claims to be), it is based on Shakespeare’s stories, who himself altered facts for entertainment.

Yeah, perhaps it would’ve flowed somewhat better if it were broken up (and certain characters given more of a sustained presence), but, even as it is, it is quite gripping in its most important developments and sequences. Read more

Only Robert Pattinson, as the long-locked, sociopathic Dauphin, seems to be having a delightful time; I don’t know whether he’s making good acting choices, but he’s definitely doing something, and gives the film a shot in the arm when it desperately needs it. All hail Pattinson, at least.

Even not as striking as the previous unforgettable versions of Henry V by Laurence Olivier in 1944 and Kenneth Branagh in 1989, The King is rarely uninteresting and still resonates with a consistent structure, excellent production values, and competent performances. Read more

The King is a handsome period piece featuring a strong turn from Timothée Chalamet, but ultimately feels like less than the sum of its parts. Read more

Yet while The King offers little new from a plot perspective, it does give us some fascinating period details that are usually overlooked by dramas of this ilk. Read more
