Leave your thoughts about The Madness of King George.
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandOne of the unlikeliest but most likable movies of the 1990s. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Madness of King George tells the story of the disintegration of a fond and foolish old man, who rules England, yet cannot find his way through the tangle of his own mind. I am not sure anyone but Nigel Hawthorne could have brought such qualities to this role. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanBlessed with a biting script by playwright Alan Bennett, a veteran of the old satirical revue Beyond the Fringe, Hytner's Madness rollicks through its tragi-comedy of royal humiliation and political maneuvering, winking at the follies of today's royals and anti-royals as it does. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranAs if to prove that the unlikeliest material can make for the best films, The Madness of King George, directed by Nicholas Hytner from Alan Bennett's prize-winning play, has taken this footnote to history and transformed it into one of the triumphs of the year--potent, engrossing and even thrilling to experience. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannFor those who, like myself, were disappointed in the play, the film contains pleasant surprises, all of them resulting from differences between the two arts. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversComedy and tragedy cohere in this extraordinary film of Alan Bennett's play. |
| The GuardianAlex Von TunzelmanThe 1994 film of the play by Alan Bennett is a model of historical accuracy and psychological tact. A triumph. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThankfully, most of the humor here works, but on the whole, the film falls to mediocrity. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe Madness of King George mixes the ebullience of Tom Jones with a pop-theatrical royal back-stabbing that is reminiscent of films like The Lion in Winter. That makes it a deft, mischievous, beautifully acted historical drama with exceptionally broad appeal. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksFunny, witty and with plenty of modern-day resonance, this is top-of-the-line British filmmaking. |
