Lillian Crawford Empire Magazine Jun 16
4/5
Celyn Jones puts Callum Scott Howells centre-stage in this bold and beautiful celebration of Welsh history. A vital testament to queer optimism and pride even in the darkest of times. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Jun 8
2/5
A shame that everything here is so tame, so careful and so Sunday night telly. And not in a good way. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator Jun 4
The scenery is divine, and while the unrealistic ending -- which deploys the clichés of your average Sunday evening TV show -- lets it down the performances are excellent. Howells ensures we feel sympathy for Henry, and Everett’s butler is touching. Go to Full Review India Lewis The Arts Desk 6d
4/5
Madfabulous is great at showing the importance of the "chosen family" and of alternative spaces needed by queer people who feel that the strictures of convention cannot accommodate them. Go to Full Review Dulcie Pearce The Sun (UK) Jun 4
3/5
Directed by Celyn Jones, sadly the film never really gets under Henry’s skin and depicts him more as a caricature than the clearly complicated man he was. Go to Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Jun 4
It’s a needle Celyn Jones’ bland direction and Lisa Baker’s shallow script comes nowhere close to threading, though Rupert Everett does some good work as the Paget’s ageing butler sympathetic to his master’s predicament. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jac C @RT47116183 Jun 6 Went to watch it yesterday in Galeri Caernarfon and it was an absolutely amazing film, it should 100% be shown in schools around the world as part of their history lesson. Kids should learn a thing or two about the 5th Marquess of Anglesey and how he spent SO MUCH on things! See more Read all reviews
