The King Is Dead! Ratings & Reviews
The Daily Review/Crikey
Luke Buckmaster
The King is Dead! is a deliciously dark genre mash-up, coy and explorative but tight and insular, sprayed with wry laughs and a genuinely foreboding undertone.
3AW
Jim Schembri
Black comedies rarely come as carefully measured or as full-blooded as this marvellously engaging lark, which is essentially a revenge fantasy for anyone who has ever suffered the prolonged trauma of living with a bad neighbour.
Film Mafia
CJ Johnson
The King is Dead!, while not as brilliant as Bad Boy Bubby or Alexandra's Project, shares with those films a unique and perverse vision of Australian suburbia ... De Heer's always bold, and here he's bold again. The Independent King is certainly not dead.
Quickflix
Simon Miraudo
The King is Dead has some great comic asides, and the finale paints Max and Therese into a genuinely dangerous and entertaining corner.
Onya Magazine
Glenn Dunks
The screenplay comes with a wealth of comical gags and observations about suburban life that many audiences should identify with.
The Aristocrat
Adam Ross
If this film had a more propulsive plot, veered into Straw Dogs territory and retained its dark laughs, I imagine we would be talking about an Australian classic.
