Seán Day-Lewis Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/28/2023
Technically the film is a considerable achievement. It is throughout a “take one” work lighting, had to be done at news pace, and Peter Bartlett worked mainly with a hand-held camera. Yet the result is relaxed and opulent. Go to Full Review Peter Preston Guardian 12/28/2023
Mission accomplished: they're a nice lot. So do they truly need the flunkeys and the yachts and the myriad retreats? Go to Full Review Times (UK) Staff The Times (UK) 12/28/2023
There must be a great many people who have a far clearer picture now than they ever had before of what type of person, with what type of family, now reigns in Britain. Go to Full Review George Melly Observer (UK) 12/28/2023
Royal Family does give the impression of a lavish back-stage musical. Richard Cawston's brilliant film is perfectly attuned to its age; Antony Jay's commentary a very subtle piece of work. Go to Full Review Ivor Jay Birmingham Mail 12/28/2023
If this programme proved anything at all it was that the Queen has the prettiest and readiest of laughs yet heard on television. Made you wistfully wish that she would change her stuffy speechwriters. Go to Full Review Mary Malone Daily Mirror (UK) 12/28/2023
It's tough when you're always on parade. But... for all their flunkeys and palaces, jewels and crowns, they are shown to be trained professionals doing an honest job and enjoying it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
