'The King' lets Timothée Chalamet engage in a lot of modernized Shakespeare cosplay; you'll be Bard out of your skull. Our review
The sound of Shakespeare turning in his grave shouldn’t deter you from taking a chance onstarring Timothée Chalamet as Prince Hal, the lad dragged reluctantly into playing his own game of thrones. An amalgam of the Bard’s history plays —— reduced to two hours, this mix-and-match melodrama is set in the 15th century but means to speak with the idiomatic, this-just-in urgency of right now. Translation: There’s barely a nod to the poet’s iambic pentameter.
You can feel that Aussie director David Michôd and co-writer Joel Edgerton are raring to give it a go. Chalamet wisely eases into the role, playing the guppie prince who’s content to drink and letch with his boisterous pal Sir John Falstaff while his daddy, Henry IV , declares that Hal’s more manly younger brother Thomas will be the king. But Thomas isn’t long for this world, or this movie.
The real live-wire in this historical epic is Robert Pattinson, who swans around playing the Dauphin with an outrageous French accent and a teasing wit that liftsout of the doldrums whenever he’s on screen. The campy royal has foolishly ignored his father, the French King Charles VI , and started a war, well, just because he can. Besides, as the script lectures, titans often clash on the basis of trivial personal peeves.
