- Critics' reviews
-
-
"[Branagh] shows an understanding of the medium worthy of a veteran, and an intuitive grasp of how to make Henry V not only comprehensible, but compelling for contemporary audiences."
-
"What works best in the film is the over-all vision. Branagh is able to see himself as a king, and so we can see him as one"
-
"Henry V emerges a first-class epic film, so entertaining that it needs no apologies for being based on a 400-year-old play"
-
"Henry V is a stirring, gritty and enjoyable pic which offers a plethora of fine performances from some of the U.K.'s brightest talents"
-
"It might never be as famous as Olivier's, but it should carry considerable clout for years to come."
