Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
King's Game is adapted from a novel by political insider Niels Krause-Kjoer and as such, the script has an air of seasoned authenticity about it.

Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net
One would never guess that it was made by a rookie director. A ride of nail-biting suspense and unsuspected insight.
