Oops...

Something went wrong.

Try again later.

A meditation on power, and the metaphor of the body of state, based on the real episode of dementia experienced by George III (now suspected a victim of porphyria, a blood disorder). As he loses his senses, he becomes both more alive, and more politically marginalized, neither effect desirable to his Lieutenants, who jimmy the rules to avoid a challenge to regal authority, raising the question of who is really in charge.

CRITICS OF "The Madness of King George"

Needcoffee.com

Flawless acting. Hawthorne was robbed of an Oscar. Sorry, but it's true.

September 21, 2004

San Francisco Chronicle

In its own shambling, elliptical way it's an entertaining, memorable movie whose 2 1/2 hours go by without strain.

June 18, 2002

Resource

At the Movies (Australia)

Visually sumptuous, energetic and classy, The Madness of King George is British film theatre at its most seductive.

August 17, 2016

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

The battle of wills between these two strong men [George and Willis] is the centerpiece of the movie, and hugely entertaining.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Vastly entertaining, with more bite than you expect from a costume drama.

August 12, 2005

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

It's Hawthorne's engaging performance that makes this drama both fun and moving.

February 12, 2006

eFilmCritic.com

Respectable actors aside, it's no more than a dryasdust history lesson.

July 10, 2003

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

So slick, so clever and so incredibly lucid that it neither leads to much in the way of thought, discussion or, unfortunately, repeat viewing.

May 23, 2004

Resource

The New Republic

For those who, like myself, were disappointed in the play, the film contains pleasant surprises, all of them resulting from differences between the two arts.

January 01, 2000

Variety

Hytner's version of Bennett's comic-tragic drama of the tormented king who almost lost his mind confirms that power games, family scandals, and personal intrigues have always been integral to the British Crown, an institution both revered and reviled.

August 22, 2006

Globe and Mail

Hawthorne is by turn outrageous and pathetic and imperious and poignant and very funny.

April 12, 2002

Resource

Rolling Stone

The thrill of Hawthorne's astounding performance is not something you want to miss.
