What to Know

Critics Consensus

A cult classic as gut-bustingly hilarious as it is blithely ridiculous, Monty Python and the Holy Grail has lost none of its exceedingly silly charm.

Donald Clarke Irish Times The first non-sketch Python film is one of the great Arthurian romps. Rated: 9/10 Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The material is superb, Neil Innes' music is tremendous and Gilliam's animations are timelessly brilliant. Rated: 5/5 Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Tom Huddleston Time Out So unnecessarily gorgeous, there are moments where it feels like Tarkovsky with drag and farting. Rated: 5/5 Oct 13, 2015 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers Doing for bunnies what Benchley and Spielberg did for Great Whites, Holy Grail is still a hoot - a meandering delight that also firmly skewers the genial pointlessness of quests and kingship, medieval myth-making, and much more. Rated: 5/5 Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) What is funny in doses of 10 seconds to 10 minutes, grows tediously extended over an hour-and-a-half May 9, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand It is probably the cheapest Arthurian adventure ever made (heck, they couldn’t even afford horses!), and easily the funniest. In fact, this absurdity is considered by many (including myself) to be one of the funniest movies ever made. Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

You owe it to yourselves to watch this historic hilarious movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/04/23 Full Review Nick R There's really no need to explain why this film is a comedic masterpiece. The Quest for the Holy Grail has never been funnier, and can be watched, quoted, and loved endlessly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Dave B I don’t know what these guys were on when they wrote this movie, but the result is one of the silliest and funniest movies ever made!
