Burton and Taylor Ratings & Reviews
NPR
Linda Holmes
Bonham Carter has a firm hand on a fundamental conflict within Taylor, which is that she seems like such an impossibly elegant, self-possessed woman at some moments and like such an infuriating flake at others.
Zap2it.com
Billy Nilles
Burton and Taylor succeeds thanks to its truncated timeline and intimate feel.
TV Guide
Matt Roush
Unlike last year's miserable Liz & Dick Lifetime biopic, BBC America's Burton and Taylor takes a more mature and artful approach - even the title is more respectful - with a giddy Helena Bonham Carter and a wearily dignified Dominic West
HitFix
Liane Bonin Starr
Burton and Taylor delivered surprises and careful insights, and whether or not any of it was technically true (though I'm sure it was), it didn't matter. At the end of the day, as a story about two people we thought we knew, it worked.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Bonham Carter offers up a sympathetic Liz who is in the process of squandering her talent; West makes Burton's brokenness seem like a noble resignation. And both seem surprised that each other's company is no longer the cure for what ails them.
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
It's a film that asks a lot from West and Bonham Carter, who deliver time and again in roles that could have eaten them alive. Instead we feast.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
Not only does it capture the essence of the two outsize icons of film and scandal, it also brings them in for a humanizing close-up.
Chicago Sun-Times
Lori Rackl
BBC America is here to set the universe right again with its love/hate story about Hollywood's hot mess of a couple.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Excellent actors playing excellent actors -- and largely succeeding.
Los Angeles Times
Mary McNamara
It's difficult to gauge how much fascination viewers still have for the couple, but Burton and Taylor is as good as it gets.
New York Times
Alessandra Stanley
Burton and Taylor distills the special pleasure those aging movie stars could still take in each other's company long after their passion was spent.
