The Happy Prince Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
By turns melancholy, witty, brutal, and sensual, the film is distinguished by its artful weave of time and memory, and by Everett's uncompromising performance as Wilde during his final years.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
An honest-but-shapeless portrait that is more than warts-and-all. It's all warts.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
I'm a little frustrated that I didn't enjoy the movie more than I ultimately did.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
There are scenes during which Everett's Wilde commands our wide-eyed attention, still mesmerizing despite his physical and psychological decline. Yet in between those quickened moments, The Happy Prince trudges forward with monotonous uniformity.
Austin Chronicle
Matthew Monagle
Given a role built exactly to his strengths, Butler also gives maybe his finest performance as Hunter Killer's first-time commander.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
The title of Oscar Wilde's fairy tale "The Happy Prince" was not his subtlest use of irony, but as seen in Rupert Everett's film that bears the same name, it was tragically apt.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Florid but warmhearted - much like the man at its center - "The Happy Prince" is a haunting portrait of the aftermath of betrayal; of how the master of comedy became a tragedy.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
It's a passion project that never devolves into mere passion; a sober (if loving) look at an inebriated soul.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
"The Happy Prince" conveys the declining Wilde's pain, despair and self-pity, but also the writer's defiant banter.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Director-actor Rupert Everett tackles Oscar Wilde in his later years, and proves this was the role he was born to play. Get ready to marvel at an award-caliber performance.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
What [Everett] brings to the table--as a director, writer, and actor --is his intuitive 'take' on Oscar Wilde and the performance alone makes this riveting and revelatory viewing.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Despite its undercurrent of anger at Wilde's mistreatment by fashionable English society, the film feels like a vanity production...
CC2K
Kristen Lopez
Everett is a massive Wilde fan, and knowing his appreciation for the material makes up for its deficiencies in style.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Tells the gay scribe's tragic, slyly poetic story in a dreamy, inventive and beautifully crafted way that decidedly sets it apart.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It's possible to see the flaws in The Happy Prince and still be deeply moved by Everett's immersive, full-bodied portrayal of the writer.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Beneath the prosthetics, there's genuine pathos in Mr. Everett's portrayal of a man bitterly aware that his talents are unreliable armor against the perceived sin of his homosexuality.
Arizona Republic
Samantha Incorvaia
Because of the lack of depth in supporting characters and half-baked writing, this movie couldn't have ended fast enough.
TheWrap
Dan Callahan
Everett shows little sense of how to structure his material, or how to shoot it, or even sometimes how to act it, but he does have one key element that sees him through: keen insight into Wilde's world and character. And this insight gets him pretty far.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
For every haunting sequence in The Happy Prince, there's five that redundantly wallow in Wilde's misery, which is Everett's point, but it becomes wearisome.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The Happy Prince proves that a film can be both bleak and warm-spirited, as befits its mighty subject.
