The Last King of Scotland

Reviews

The Last King of Scotland (2006)

By Emma Simmonds

Based on Giles Foden’s novel of the same name this bold, visceral cinematic-bodyblow takes a political maelstrom and a maniacal dictator and squeezes them into the mould of a genre-picture. [20 April 2007]

The Last King of Scotland (2006)

By Cynthia Fuchs

That Nicholas is also capable of great horrors, specifically in that he lets others act it for him and gets away with it, makes him, at some level, even more troubling than Amin. [27 September 2006]
