A Man for All Seasons is a picture that inspires admiration, courage and thought.

Robert Bolt's boring historical drama functions best as an anthology of British acting styles, circa 1966.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli
A Man for All Seasons offers an engaging, if somewhat dry, history lesson leavened with enough low-key drollness and powerful acting to keep it from ever becoming boring.

New York Daily News by Kate Cameron
A faithful and beautifully impressive transition to the screen of Robert Bolt's superb historical play.

Prestigious, well turned out piece of British historical drama with enough genuine intrigue and wit to persuade some audiences they aren't watching a history lesson.
