Audience Reviews for The Last King

Apr 04, 2012

The pomp and political circumstances of the bawdy English royal court occupy one's tediously dull life until the time one finds the time (and one seldom fails to do so) to find young wenches to skewer on the growing royal heritage ... and that's about it for this ofttimes slow moving biopic wherein the king constantly struggles with Parliament over just who's in charge. A walk in the park with decent performances.

Some excellent performances and lovely period design elevate this drama, it's a little overlong but good entertainment.
