The Hollow Crown • The Wars of the Roses Ratings & Reviews
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"The Wars of the Roses" is a long sit, meant to be absorbed one history play at a time, but there's such propulsive energy to the production, it feels like one complete epic.
Buffalo News
Randy Schiff
The series finds a perfect balance between respecting the original language and relating to modern audiences: viewers get the essential parts of these plays translated into a modern cinematic medium.
Newsday
Verne Gay
The cast is spectacular, production values over the top, and by adding extra dimensions that enrich the story, they also deepen its meaning.
Culturess
Ani Bundel
This is probably one of the most successful renditions of Shakespeare's vision staged to date.
Black Girl Nerds
Kyndal Wilson
It's the real-life version of Game of Thrones, and it's just as good, if not better.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Henry VI, Part 2, part of PBS's Great Performances series, features some very potent performances, notably from Sophie Okonedo as Queen Margaret.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
It speaks to the impermanence of things, and of kings, which you may find a useful, even comforting, thought long about now.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Neal Justin
Rather than downplay his natural magnetism, Cumberbatch emphasizes it, charming the audience by talking directly to the camera, just like Kevin Spacey does in House of Cards.
Collider
Allison Keene
The experience is not like watching a play on screen, as Dominic Cooke has directed each part with a clear vision of filmic aesthetics, and along with that, a ghastly amount of violence.
Boston Herald
Mark A. Perigard
The Hollow Crown doesn't just bring Shakespeare's words to life, it sets them on fire and lets them howl to the moon.
