Leave your thoughts about The Emperor's Club.
| Slant MagazineChuck RudolphHundert may be remembered by his pupils but the movie will be quickly forgotten. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusWilliam Hundert (Kevin Kline) isn't charismatic or cool… I like that about him. He isn't selling his own personality, authenticity, or commitment; he isn't selling education as self-actualization (Dead Poets Society)… |
