Pros: Superb performances. Lavish attention to period detail.
Cons: Some familiarity with late 18th century British court life and history is helpful.
The cruise liner, Norwegian Sun, refused to stay in one place underfoot and I was forced to remain in my cabin under the doctor until just prior to my concert. When it was time for me to sing, I was pumped full of anti-nauseants and the captain...

Pros: Nigel Hawthorne's brilliant career-making performance; lovely period detail; clever premise; good supporting performances
Cons: Repetitious references to stool and urine samples
Authority is a strangely labile kind of privilege. My personal physician was once my student. He once sat respectfully in my class; now I listen dutifully to his advice. In the college where I work, we have a crime school where state and community ...

Pros: Great acting. Great script.
Cons: Rupert Everett is as boring here as with Madonna.

Pros: Flawless acting, spot on costuming, heartbreaking truth.
Cons: American's are bound to classify it as "revisionist" because it is sympathetic to George III.

Pros: great acting, costumes, music, direction, photography, location
Cons: a bit confusing for the viewer with no history knowledge
An excellent story about the years in the life of King George III (or Farmer George), in which a strange ailment befell him, an ailment that would last for the rest of his life.
George III was the first monarch in the Hanover...

by Paul_Ritchie , Oct 12 '00
Pros: Thorough examination of the characters without getting too heavy
Cons: An overall thin plot which has been craftily padded out.
The Madness of King George owes most of its success to Nigel Hawthorne. Working with a potentially thin plot was a risky way to fill nearly 2 hours of final product.
However, the viewer is carried through the serious activity of establishing who is...
