Jesper Christensen gives an effectively commanding that rises above the dry, pedestrian screenplay.
September 21, 2017
Proceeds in the manner of any number of war epics of the 1960s, sluggishly charting how the ostensibly ceremonial king acquired real negotiating power during a crisis - and had the resolve to lead his country into war.
September 28, 2017
Director Erik Poppe's handling of complicated material - diplomacy amid invasion, familial struggles amid national strife, political machinery clanking along amid explosions - is clear and sure.
September 28, 2017
A deeply affecting story on a personal level, not only full of suspense and tension but also emotion. If Dunkirk is this year's Big World War Two film about the planes and the boats, this is the one about the people.

Characters are dimensional and the stakes are high, giving "The King's Choice" plenty to examine as it visits an obscure corner of WWII history.
October 21, 2017
It's handsomely mounted, extremely well-acted and tells a little-known story of bravery on the part of one man daringly taking on the might of the Third Reich.
October 05, 2017
A handsome widescreen history lesson, "The King's Choice" digs deep into the inexhaustible subject of World War II from a fresh perspective.
September 29, 2017
[I]n its political and personal aims, The King's Choice has chosen nuance over historical melodrama.
October 05, 2017
"The King's Choice" is a dramatic tale about a pivotal World War II moment, a story infused with tension and psychological conflict that's all the more engrossing for being fresh to us.
September 22, 2017
One of the most handsomely realized and viscerally compelling of recent period dramas.
October 05, 2017
Set up like a suspense thriller, with on-screen titles that count down the minutes - not days or weeks - "The King's Choice" has the feel of a film that probably played better in its native country.

... the film turns out to be a beautifully photographed and thoughtful nail-biter, suspenseful in a way that illuminates what must have been Norway's most terrifying moments.
