Kings Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The English-language debut from the brilliant talent behind best foreign film picture nominee Mustang is a terribly uneven, borderline absurdist jumble that undercuts its own message again and again.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
It's possible to appreciate the film for recognizing both the horror and the absurdity in its subjects...and for playing exclusively in those extreme registers, yet still come to the conclusion that it's is all bark, no bite.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Kings is clueless about its subject matter.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Eschewing poeticism for an empty sense of prefab empathy, "Kings" is so determined to be hopeful that it forgets to be honest.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This dud recreation of the 1992 L.A. riots traps Halle Berry and Daniel Craig and a piece of momentous, civil-rights history in a crazyquilt of random action, absurdist humor, bogus romance and questionable purpose.
Slashfilm
Marshall Shaffer
The film's worst sin is not that it's a middling movie. It's that it adds nothing to an urgent and ongoing dialogue.
FF2 Media
Brigid Presecky
A timely look at race relations in America dating back almost three decades, Kings is a cinematically impressive film with a messy, stunted script.
Every Movie Has a Lesson
Don Shanahan
Even as pure dramatization, "Kings" is an irresponsibly aimless one.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
In tying its story to this particular moment in American history, the movie bites off more than it can coherently chew.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
For all its honorable intentions to address sensitive issues that still sting, Kings is an unconvincing tonal patchwork.
Variety
Peter Debruge
An unmediated jumble.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
while it deserves criticism for being wildly unfocused and messy, ...it's when Kings slows down that Erguven best captures civil unrest with brutal honesty.
The Film Experience
Nathaniel Rogers
The most shameful mistake is the bizarre choice to cross-cut back and forth between a violent teenage tragedy and a slapstick comedy scene involving two movie stars MacGyvering their way out of police handcuffs in their underwear.
Film Journal International
André Hereford
Strange and evocative, but not really satisfying.
The Playlist
Bradley Warren
Starring Halle Berry and Daniel Craig, Deniz Gamze Ergven's sophomore film is a tonal disaster, jerking from shrill melodrama to screwball comedy and always at the most inappropriate of moments.
The Film Stage
Jordan Ruimy
The missteps seem to never end as the director and actors struggle to bring some kind of coherence to this unwieldy film.
Baret News
Kam Williams
A harrowing descent into depravity that makes The Florida Project look like Leave It to Beaver.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
How does a filmmaker go from a lauded debut to a sophomore feature this disastrous?
IGN Movies
Kenneth Seward Jr.
Kings' fragmented treatment fails in delivering a compelling story. It also lacks the depth and clarity needed to convey a solid message, which one can assume was the purpose given the liberal use of certain politically charged images and sound bites.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
Although it's set against the backdrop of the 1992 Rodney King riots, the film fails to capture the real anger of a city divided.
