The Lost King - FILM REVIEW
Emily Zemler, observer.com
"Thanks to the amended timeline, Frears keeps the story moving along. He doesn’t linger over the mundane-but-necessary scenes, like meetings with Leicester’s government. Instead, he lets Philippa and her struggle carry the story. Her conversations with Richard, standing in for her internal monologue, are emotionally satisfying and often funny.

It’s all very heart-warming, which is typical of Frears’ films." For the full review CLICK HERE.
