I have seen wallpaper samples that contain more inherent excitement than this spiritless picture.

An entertaining melodrama with probably more jazz age decadence than Graves would have recognised.

Some lifeless poetry readings drag the whole enterprise down even further.

Common Sense Media

While there's enough in Graves' story to ensure viewers remain compelled throughout, there is a nagging feeling that writer and director William Nunez could've been bolder with the tale.

There are plenty of handsomely mounted dramas about troubled writers, and The Laureate sits comfortably among them without doing anything vastly different.
