Critics Reviews:
- “The movie delivers viscerally exciting fight scenes and a strong sense of what life was like in an ancient, unsettled world.” – Noel Murray (Los Angeles Times)
- “Where “Seven Kings Must Die” is most interesting… is in its approach to religion, sexuality and culture.” – Catherine Bray (Variety)
- “There’s a ton of plot crammed tightly into the running time, but director Edward Bazalgette manages the storytelling efficiently…” – Leslie Felperin (Guardian)
