What kind of watch this is
David Michôd directs a 140-minute drama that treats the birth of a king as a reluctant accident. Timothée Chalamet plays Hal, a prince who spends his time in the mud with the commoners before circumstances drag him back to the court. The film is less about winning battles than about the weight of the crown settling on a man who never wanted it. It runs long, but the pacing feels like a slow march toward an inevitable, grim conclusion.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 71% as of November 2024, with an average score of 6.6 out of 10. Metacritic lands on 62 out of 100, a number it categorizes as generally favorable. The consensus notes the film is sometimes less than the sum of its impressive parts, yet strong source material and gripping performances keep it a period drama worth hailing. That is a high bar to clear, and it mostly does.
How it did with audiences
No box office figures are on record, so the financial verdict remains a mystery. The audience consensus lives in the TMDB user score, which sits at 7.2. That number suggests viewers liked it enough to bother logging in, but not enough to start a riot. It is a solid, unflashy score for a film that probably didn’t try to flash.
What came next for the cast
Chalamet arrived with Call Me by Your Name (2017) and left with Dune (2021). Edgerton traded Star Wars (2002) for Train Dreams (2025). Harris swapped Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) for Spencer (2021). The credits list these shifts, but they cannot prove The King (2019) caused them. It can only say what followed.
