A faithful and beautifully impressive transition to the screen of Robert Bolt's superb historical play.
90
A Man for All Seasons is a picture that inspires admiration, courage and thought.
80
This 1966 drama ticks most of the right boxes when it comes to entertaining as well as educating.
80
Producer-director Fred Zinnemann has blended all filmmaking elements into an excellent, handsome and stirring film version of A Man For All Seasons.
60
An agonisingly respectable, sincere film of Robert Bolt's literate play, with Scofield as Sir Thomas More, endorsing the divine right of the Pope over and above his King.
60
Tasteful and moderately enjoyable.
50
Robert Bolt's boring historical drama functions best as an anthology of British acting styles, circa 1966.

This is, you know, fine, but it's really nothing special. Certainly worth a watch, but more for historical value (both English history and Academy Awards history) but by no means an exceptional movie.
