Critic Reviews of "The Madness of King George"
VarietyAugust 22, 2006Hytner's version of Bennett's comic-tragic drama of the tormented king who almost lost his mind confirms that power games, family scandals, and personal intrigues have always been integral to the British Crown, an institution both revered and reviled.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002In its own shambling, elliptical way it's an entertaining, memorable movie whose 2 1/2 hours go by without strain.
Globe and MailApril 12, 2002Hawthorne is by turn outrageous and pathetic and imperious and poignant and very funny.
Rolling StoneMay 12, 2001The thrill of Hawthorne's astounding performance is not something you want to miss.
The New RepublicJanuary 01, 2000For those who, like myself, were disappointed in the play, the film contains pleasant surprises, all of them resulting from differences between the two arts.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000The battle of wills between these two strong men [George and Willis] is the centerpiece of the movie, and hugely entertaining.
At the Movies (Australia)August 17, 2016Visually sumptuous, energetic and classy, The Madness of King George is British film theatre at its most seductive.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsFebruary 12, 2006It's Hawthorne's engaging performance that makes this drama both fun and moving.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)August 12, 2005Vastly entertaining, with more bite than you expect from a costume drama.
Needcoffee.comSeptember 21, 2004Flawless acting. Hawthorne was robbed of an Oscar. Sorry, but it's true.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)May 23, 2004So slick, so clever and so incredibly lucid that it neither leads to much in the way of thought, discussion or, unfortunately, repeat viewing.
eFilmCritic.comJuly 10, 2003Respectable actors aside, it's no more than a dryasdust history lesson.
