The Laureate Reviews
The Film Stage
Dan Mecca
While the structure is fairly standard and its overall aesthetic sometimes appears limited by scope, The Laureate is a solid, heady account of a particularly tumultuous time in the life of poet Robert Graves.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
A sturdy film, well-acted, but without much in the way of flash.
Screen Rant
Rachel LaBonte
The Laureate pushes past the tone and format of a typical biopic to make something fresh, though it holds weak spots in an otherwise compelling story.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
For all the strain the movie exerts, it never comes close to touching the hem of the writers it purports to depict.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
We don't get enough inside Graves' head to really feel his pain. But it's interesting, about important figures intelligently portrayed. It might even scratch your Downton Abbey itch a bit.
Philadelphia Gay News
Gary M. Kramer
A bland, ambitious biographical drama... "The Laureate" feels like a missed opportunity. Nunez' film is far too basic to merit much attention.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
The performances did not redeem the film... I thought it was pretty-looking, but lacking in dramatic tension.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This isn't the most novel, memorable or intellectually deep enterprise of its type. But it will satisfy viewers looking for a slightly racier variation on "Downton Abbey" terrain.
Film Inquiry
Amanda Mazzillo
The Laureate crafts a uniquely haunting atmosphere for its challenging and darker biopic through strong performances and visually captivating moments, but the film focuses too much on its plot and not enough on exploring its characters.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Wade Major
We get these once in a while, these biopics about British poets and artists and their complicated lives and romances. I think this one is on par with all the others.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Unfortunately, the film loses its center early on, as Riding and her manipulations drive much of the action and Graves' ambitions get a bit lost in the shuffle.
City AM
Victoria Luxford
There are plenty of handsomely mounted dramas about troubled writers, and The Laureate sits comfortably among them without doing anything vastly different.
Common Sense Media
Stefan Pape
While there's enough in Graves' story to ensure viewers remain compelled throughout, there is a nagging feeling that writer and director William Nunez could've been bolder with the tale.
