Leave your thoughts about The Black Prince.
| The Times of IndiaRenuka VyavahareDespite the story's massive potential, Raz's sincere but dimly-lit drama, monotonously shot within the four walls of a church or a heritage room, ends up being a tedious watch. Just like its protagonist, it lacks drive and a sense of purpose. |
| The AustralianStephen RomeiIf you don't know much about Singh (as I didn't), you can follow this like a historical thriller. It is a carefully made film, sometimes to the point of slowness in plot development and over-explanation in dialogue. |
| FilmfareRachit GuptaWhile The Black Prince could've been a compelling real-life inspired drama, it strictly manages to stay average fare. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerAs entertainment, the film is pedantic and over-dramatic, with the string section working overtime on the soundtrack. |
| Georgia StraightJagdeesh Mann[Raz] has crafted a story to win the hearts and minds of this audience. Unfortunately, this comes at an artistic cost, as The Black Prince seems more like a mission than a movie at times. |
| National PostChris KnightThe Black Prince is a beautifully photographed film and an interesting historical tale from the murky depths of mid-19th century British colonialism, but it's a bloodless tale, bereft of passion or pathos. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe historical saga can feel cursory, at times unconvincingly rendered given how many events and far-flung locales this overly ambitious film strains to cover on a seemingly limited budget. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzA dramatic life does not necessarily a dramatic film make. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonThis is one of those cases where the material behind a film turns out to be much more interesting than the film itself. |
| VarietyJay WeissbergClunkily scripted and generically pretty in a Stately Home porn kind of way, the film is vaguely accurate in its sequence of events but falls completely flat on personal relationships, psychology and political undercurrents — in other words, the stuff that makes history come alive. |
