A Royal Affair Ratings & Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
If the story presented in A Royal Affair wasnt true, its doubtful anyone would believe it.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
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.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
What a piece of work is this historical drama.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
It is certainly competent, lovely to look at, but leaves little lasting impression.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A Royal Affair covers plenty of stately ground, all in good time.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A fascinating, stately thriller.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A crowned-heads soap opera that balances effectively between pomp and melodramatic circumstance.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A tragic love story, beautifully told.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Even appreciated simply as a little-known chapter of European history, it proves consistently engrossing, edifying and affecting.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"A Royal Affair" is an engaging and entertaining film, one that might have been great, if only the history were different.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A Royal Affair is historical drama of the highest order - teeming with big ideas, and anchored by the nicely nuanced performances of Vikander and Mikkelsen.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
History may not always be fun, but, at least in this case, it's fascinating.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Director Nikolaj Arcel gets outstanding performances from all three of the principals, which enlivens the whole affair considerably.
Newsday
John Anderson
The film tells an intimate story with an enormous amount of grace.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The storytelling ... is kind of amazing.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
"A Royal Affair" is basically a good-looking set of historical Cliffs Notes.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Director Nikolaj Arcel, who also co-wrote the screenplay, stages the action in a brisk, modern mode that makes 'A Royal Affair' easily digestible and satisfying.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
This highly polished costume drama is exceptionally well-made and a model of intelligent restraint, but it is also unapologetically earnest and a bit on the bloodless side.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
With its sumptuous settings, urgent romance and intellectual substance, A Royal Affair is a mind-opener crossed with a bodice-ripper.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Unfortunately it never fully comes to life.
