Critic reviews

“Something for the little knight in shining armour in your life.” (The Times)

All stars
Most relevant
Great performance by Nathaniel West and very well written. It has atmosphere and broad appeal. However it did not for me capture the same spirit of the Arthur trilogy. Nevertheless still very good

Very good but somehow doesn’t quite capture the magic of the “Arthur” trilogy
