Critic Reviews of "A United Kingdom"
Scott Marks San Diego ReaderFebruary 24, 2017Screenwriter Guy Hibbert and Asante pull off a precision balancing act, illuminating the intensity of the love the couple shared and never once allowing their romance to take a back seat to the issues.
Johanna Schneller Globe and MailFebruary 24, 2017Director Amma Asante is carving a niche for herself, making gorgeous-looking cinema from untold histories. Her best asset here is Oyelowo.
Adam Graham Detroit NewsFebruary 24, 2017Noble but stuffy, "A United Kingdom's" good intentions suffer from its dull, predictable beats.
Peter Howell Toronto StarFebruary 23, 2017Oyelowo and Pike make for a convincing couple, even if the romance is the love-at-first-sight variety that requires a certain leap of faith.
Colin Covert Minneapolis Star TribuneFebruary 23, 2017It makes no bones about attempting to turn a story of cross-cultural romance and international politics into a solid crowd-pleaser. But it doesn't strike that irresistible spark.
Calvin Wilson St. Louis Post-DispatchFebruary 23, 2017Oyelowo captures Seretse's quiet dignity while also hinting at the limits of his patience. And Pike is compelling as a woman who rises to the occasion regardless of the circumstances.
James Mottram South China Morning PostApril 03, 2017Amma Asante's third film is a tastefully made true-life story, based around a forgotten romance that caused familial, national and international strife.
Candice Frederick Reel Talk OnlineMarch 22, 2017I love that [Asante] has found a particular narrative that means something to her... But still, A UNITED KINGDOM is a disappointing effort from a promising director.
John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore)March 15, 2017The film begins strong, as an account of a forbidden love. But midway, that thread peters out, giving way to an uninspired description about the political machinations behind giving an African protectorate its independence.
Rick Bentley Fresno BeeMarch 10, 2017It would have been easy for one of these plot threads to strangle the other, but the crisp writing, strong direction by Amma Asante plus Oscar-worthy performances by Oyelowo and Pike make each story support the other.
John Urbancich Your Movies (cleveland.com)March 05, 2017Oyetolo ("Selma") and Pike ("Gone Girl") are simply heartbreaking, either together or apart, in turning back family biases and political racism.
Matt Brunson Creative LoafingMarch 04, 2017A welcome reminder that, even in the direst of situations and in the most impossible of times, love can indeed trump hate.
