Henry V Ratings & Reviews
Modern Screen
Fannie Hurst
"With winged heels, like English Mercuries," the beauty of the Olivier version of Henry the Fifth soars to what comes close to perfect achievement.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Overwhelming production of the William Shakespeare epic historical play.
The New Republic
Manny Farber
While definitely athletic, pageant-minded and somewhat recognizable after all of the war dramas that have come out since Elizabethan times, no movie has given a more poignant impression of men in battle or been so cutting about the waste and folly of war.
TIME Magazine
James Agee
The movies have produced one of their rare great works of art.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Experimental in its approach to adapating Shakespeare to the big screen, Laurence Olivier's film is an innovative, stunningly looking, well-acted work.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
One can pick plenty of bones with Laurence Olivier's direction of the Shakespeare play, but this 1945 film is still a powerful production from many standpoints.
Variety
Variety Staff
The color, the sets, the expanse and the imaginative quality of the filming are unexcelled.

Steve Crum
Great Olivier performance and direction.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
The first completely serious attempt to bring Shakespeare to the sound film.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
A stunningly brilliant and intriguing screen spectacle, rich in theatrical invention, in heroic imagery and also gracefully regardful of the conventions of the Elizabethan stage.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A colorful, spectacular adaptation, made to inspire the WWII troops, which it does. Olivier at the top of his art.
San Francisco Chronicle
Judy Stone
Henry V was Olivier's first Shakespearean film, and he directed it with brilliant imagination and elegance.
TV Guide
Olivier not only took on the title role but the director's mantle, performing both roles magnificently.
