Review For Movie A Royal Affair
For all its incident, A Royal Affair is slow and picturesquely framed - more of a languorously animated coffee-table book than a gripping drama.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail The film ends not on a happy note, naturally, but on a moment of hope. Love may not conquer all, but it has a power all its own.
Connie Ogle-Miami Herald Although the brazen lovers, bellicose ministers and backstabbing handmaidens are familiar elements, the film is so handsomely mounted that we happily endure the ride until the turning of the screws in the tragic last act.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch What a piece of work is this historical drama.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post A Royal Affair covers plenty of stately ground, all in good time.
Claudia Puig-USA Today A fascinating, stately thriller.
Tom Long-Detroit News A well-crafted drama about three flawed individuals who changed the course of history in Denmark.
John Hanlon-Big Hollywood Out of some dry lines, Shakespearean allusions, and its playing with statecraft as stagecraft, this slowly emerges as more than just some ruffle-collared, frilly-cuffed throne-porn-there's a sharp quill and glinting eye behind the gilt-edged curtain.
Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) The performances are powerful and the set pieces are exquisite, but the conclusion will leave you feeling enormously agitated thanks to what seems like the encouragement of thickheadedness.
Chris Sawin-Examiner.com Denmark's Oscar nominee is a fact-inspired historical melodrama, but it's intriguing, elegantly shot, and well acted by the actors forming the romantic triangle.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com The heady mix of power, politics, ideology, romance and corsets is a rare, royal feast.
Chris Knight-National Post It's all high-drama and in the hands of director Arcel, every little knot in this detailed needlepoint is handled to period perfection.
Katherine Monk-Canada.com A sumptuous slice of period drama and real-life palace intrigue.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune ...a splendid demonstration of the old adage that political films are really not about the time they are set in, but the time in which they are made.
Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters Perhaps there's only so much to be done with a costume drama about illicit affairs and would-be coups.
Michael Nordine-L.A. Weekly Gorgeously photographed if familiarly constructed, it's more or less catnip for urban foreign film aficionados and the NPR set, breathing life into period piece lust and intrigue.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com The characters in the story are interesting, even if they are not quite as interesting as the historical people on which the characters in this film are based.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope In the immortal words of King Louis XVI -- or was it Mel Brooks? -- it's good to be the king.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Despite the presence of illicit sex, insanity, a smallpox epidemic and a climactic double beheading, this is a rather bloodless 'Affair.'
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Arcel directs with sympathy for all three of the main characters and doesn't make pure villains of the others.
Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer It is certainly competent, lovely to look at, but leaves little lasting impression.
Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle Sometimes falling in love can really change the world or at least the fate of a nation.
