REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..for the majority of its long running time, it really is just a comfortably-rendered period drama..”
by Jessica Kiang [indieWire]
“..its ambitious scope in terms of subject matter, its intelligence, its brilliant cast of actors and its lavish production values..”
by Robert Beames [Beames on Film]
“..while it's lavish and lush in all the expected costume-drama ways, A Royal Affair never bogs down in period detail..”
by Ella Taylor [NPR]
