Leave your thoughts about The King Is Dead!.
| ABC Radio (Australia)CJ JohnsonThe King is Dead!, while not as brilliant as Bad Boy Bubby or Alexandra's Project, shares with those films a unique and perverse vision of Australian suburbia ... De Heer's always bold, and here he's bold again. The Independent King is certainly not dead. |
| Onya MagazineGlenn DunksThe screenplay comes with a wealth of comical gags and observations about suburban life that many audiences should identify with. |
| The AristocratAdam RossIf this film had a more propulsive plot, veered into Straw Dogs territory and retained its dark laughs, I imagine we would be talking about an Australian classic. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoThe King is Dead has some great comic asides, and the finale paints Max and Therese into a genuinely dangerous and entertaining corner. |
| The Daily Review/CrikeyLuke BuckmasterThe King is Dead! is a deliciously dark genre mash-up, coy and explorative but tight and insular, sprayed with wry laughs and a genuinely foreboding undertone. |
| User ReviewJan vWhat a great little flick! quite a wonderful aussie nugget. I found it hilarious and I was on the edge of my seat. Yes it is a 5 star , so glad I stumbled upon it. |
| User ReviewIan CAustralian black comedy about a mellow and tolerant professional couple who think tey have purchased the perfect home, until they discover they have neighbours from hell and are pushed to far. |
| User ReviewMatthew HRolf De Heer's latest is an amusing look at Australian suburbia, with compelling characters at it's core. An entertaining, witty and well made Aussie film. |
| User ReviewJ Hslowest dullest movie I have seen in a long time. one of those movies where you simply don't care what happens |
