Critic Reviews of "Kind Hearts and Coronets"
Time OutAugust 17, 2011At once a witty comedy of manners, a grotesque serial-killer caper and an acerbic satire on the class system.
Chicago ReaderSeptember 03, 2010Robert Hamer's 1949 film is often cited as the definitive black, eccentric British comedy, yet it's several cuts better than practically anything else in the genre.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006It's a brilliantly cynical film without a hint of middle-class guilt or bitterness.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The sly and adroit Mr. Guinness plays eight Edwardian fuddy-duds with such devastating wit and variety that he naturally dominates the film.
Chicago Sun-TimesSeptember 27, 2002Despite its murders and intrigues, its betrayals and blood feuds, Kind Hearts and Coronets has a dry and detached air.
Daily Telegraph (UK)December 20, 2014A high comedy that is enlivened with cynicism, loaded with dramatic irony and shot through with a suspicion of social satire.
The SkinnySeptember 01, 2011Shot through with pitch black humour and biting satire on both the moribund upper class and the grasping venality of the suburban middle class.
Observer (UK)August 22, 2011Hamer had a particular liking for the late-Victorian/Edwardian world and was a great Francophile.
London Evening StandardAugust 19, 2011Amazingly courageous for its day (1949) in combining bad taste with good comedy.
Little White LiesAugust 18, 2011Technically brilliant and savagely funny, serial killing has never looked so much fun.
