King Knight's humor doesn't always land, but viewers who can pick up the movie's sweetly strange wavelength will be glad they tuned in.

3/5

In truth, the script for King Knight could have been punched up a little and the gags about Juliette Binoche don’t work quite as well as everyone thinks. But there are one or two amiable laughs.

1/4

Aimless, immature, and frustratingly amateurish, Richard Bates King Knight feels like it was made exclusively for those involved in it, with no regard for an audiences patience or time.

Both mocks the conventions of the reunion comedy and lovingly co-opts them for its own subversive ends.

4.5/5

King Knight is a gut-bustingly funny, surprisingly touching film. It’s a celebration of authenticity, but one that’s unafraid to luxuriate in the humor that comes with such authenticity.

While it may not leave a lasting mark, the movie ends on a high note and wins you over with its charms.

King Knight teaches of importance of kinship, the deep sense of spirituality, connecting with nature, and most importantly, the hilarious journey of an occult that learns to let go of the past.

It’s a “horror comedy” that’s neither funny nor frightening. It was like a stupid high school play. I expect it took them all of 15 minutes to dream up this pile of poo and probably a weekend to film it.

Good humor very dry and some can be painful but in a funny kinda of iconic way interesting to see how it plays out though.
