| 4:3Anders FurzeA light, somewhat diverting romp through the Balkan states, as experienced by a group of bumbling-if-ultimately-kind-hearted Belgians on the loose. |
| Otroscines.comDiego BattleA mockumentary with a sadistic tone that has a lot more to give than flaws. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Film ThreatFelipe FreitasKing of the Belgians is an undemanding offbeat caricature that turns up politically concise in its sayings, yet considerably stinging in its depictions. |

| User ReviewJOANA LMy husband and I both loved this movie-- a mockumentary. It is an improbable roadtrip by a monarch and his staff, who are accompanied by a filmmaker. During the road trip, the King reflects upon duty, personal freedom, happiness, the loving as well as the dark side of life. There are scenes of beauty and transcendence-- characters occasionally look like a part of a still life or tableau. This movie manages to be funny-- sometimes laugh out loud funny and other times just droll-- as well as thoughtful. You are left contemplating what it means to be alive and free. |
| User ReviewJon TThis is a delightful, small scale comedy for whom the word "quirky" could have been invented. The pathos gives it a depth which enables it to transcend what is essentially a caper movie. |
