Review by anonymous on 8th June 2000

Impressive screen version of an Alan Bennett play, with Hawthorne repeating his stunning performance as the eccentrically benevolent late 18th century eponymous king, Mirren touchingly supportive as the queen, Rupert Everett wonderfully foppish and slimy as the son who hopes the king's mental instability aids his plans to usurp the throne. The brilliant production design by Ken Adam deservedly won an Oscar.
