Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
I Served the King of England should be a brilliant picture, one last testament to the intertwined sensibilities of two brave artists. Should be, but isn't.
– Rick Groen,

fresh:
Most movies of this kind would lead towards redemption of sorts. Menzel prefers quiet introspection to loud conversion, and that's both a strength and weakness of this movie.

rotten:
Tasty enough but inoffensive even when it should offend, provoke, startle.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
18 Oct 2008
fresh:
The movie is filled with wonderful moments, set pieces of absurdity, and a richness of humor. But underneath, Menzel and Hraba have a wry and sometimes painful story to tell of the history of their country in the 20th century.

The world it depicts is too dangerous and too lovely to classify.
