The Lost King Ratings & Reviews
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Reveals a distinctly British obsession with royalty and propriety that doesn't always translate with the same reverence abroad. But the more important story is the one about discrimination and misinformation; that fact can be twisted into fiction
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A true story, potentially inspirational but mostly just peculiar.
Observer
Emily Zemler
The viewer will recognize a classic David vs. Goliath tale at the heart of The Lost King, which is what makes it such a good story.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
It's sweet and nice, but it didn't need the extra stuff.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
Stephen Frears gives us something really comforting, sweet, solid and sincere.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
As it ticks along from one small but crucial development to another, this climax is far more exciting than any part of any superhero movie I've seen in recent months.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The Lost King often seems distinctly underpowered. But it has one big thing in its favor: Sally Hawkins' performance as Langley. She's perfectly cast, which, as a general rule, does not always translate into a perfect performance. Not so here.

Leonard Maltin
'The Lost King' is a thoroughly entertaining and enlightening film for grownups, and well worth seeing
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
[Hawkins] radiates a brazen confidence that shines through any surface impression of timidity.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
With Sally Hawkins playing Langley as a woman undeterred by pompous academics and condescending naysayers, The Lost King makes for a charmingly droll tale of long-ago and not-so-long-ago reappraisal.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
It's comfort-food cinema but also appreciably more, since Hawkins invests Langley with deep reserves of doubt, dreaming, and resolve.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The fact that The Lost King never quite reconciles this tension between striving for noble recognition and the fallacy of divine majesty feels like an implicit damnation of both.

Sheila O'Malley
"The Lost King" gets sidetracked. Still, it's a great story.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Hawkins evokes a certain British contrariness, a polite determination to do the right thing, and a quiet indignation when the same is not done for her.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's a tale made for the movies, and a character perfectly suited to the great Hawkins, who specializes in wispy-voiced women with cores of steel.
Slant Magazine
Seth Katz
The film, a shabby account of the story behind the story, muddles its themes and only superficially conveys the importance of the historical insights it contains.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Sally Hawkins is a gift, to directors and audiences alike.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Its pleasures and compensations lie not in plotty complications or some third-act twist, but in the humanity that suffuses an enterprise that is borne of obsession but achieves a form of transcendence.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Despite its flaws in emphasis, "The Lost King" has a story that was just impossible to kill.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
It's the kind of movie that would make a lovely watch on a rainy Sunday, but far from the kind that'll make waves, much less change history.
