5 stars out of 5 -- [T]his quietly amazing film is conceived in terms of pure minimalist intimacy....The candlelit sombreness makes it painterly, or more like a tableau vivant.
The Guardian
How much you appreciate the film will very likely coincide with how funny you find the picture's morbidly dry humor.

Rating: 4/5 --
Serra's representation of a king as prisoner within his own body neatly subverts the tropes of historical dramas about royalty.

Rating: 5/5 --
Dying of old age should be the most commonplace thing. This film reveals it to be an extraordinary, eerie spectacle, waiting for all of us. It is Jean-Pierre Léaud's finest hour.

[A]n elegy for art cinema, as the title role is played -- very poignantly -- by the great Jean-Pierre Léaud, an icon of the French New Wave...
A.V. Club
Rating: 3/5 --
In its own sombre, ritualistic way, the film makes compelling viewing.

Independent (UK)
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Albert Serra imagines the event as though it were a slowly deflating balloon in a burnished Baroque painting, agonizing on all levels but also extraordinarily textured.
