The film ends not on a happy note, naturally, but on a moment of hope. Love may not conquer all, but it has a power all its own. January 18, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Although the brazen lovers, bellicose ministers and backstabbing handmaidens are familiar elements, the film is so handsomely mounted that we happily endure the ride until the turning of the screws in the tragic last act. January 17, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

There's a sumptuous vibrancy to the film, especially in many of the film's outdoor sequences. But it's the three leads of A Royal Affair that solidify this as a delightful endeavor. August 6, 2019 | Full Review…

As a period piece based on a true story, it's not surprising A Royal Affair is long. But it's also fascinating and will keep audience's attention the full two-plus hours. This story was made for the screen. December 14, 2018 | Full Review…
