The performances (by Burton and Bujold in the leads) are decent but the film is dull, overly long, and overwrought--the kind of Royalty picture that impresses Oscar voters.January 01, 2000
It's about what you'd expect -- slow, dry, fleetingly intelligent.March 23, 2011
Some plucky performance don't manage to embue this historical drama with the regal spectacle the source material deserves.March 26, 2009
Anne of the Thousand Days is a stunning-acted, sumptuous, grand-scale widescreen drama of the royal bed chamber and political intrigues that created the Church of England.May 24, 2003
Bujold gives a sweet and creditable performance, though, and Burton adds some humanity to a character often portrayed simply as a monster. Yet they cannot salvage this sprawling mess.March 23, 2011
A superbly acted costume drama.June 24, 2006
Interminable plod through the story of Henry the Eighth and Anne Boleyn.March 23, 2011
It is a story fit for the second Elizabeth, though it has perhaps one minor fault: the first two hours.May 09, 2005
One of those almost unbearably classy movies, like A Man for All Seasons and Becket, that have a way of elevating the reputations of moviemakers without doing much for the art.
