David Oyelowo (Selma) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) star in this inspiring true story of the forbidden love between the King of Botswana and a white English woman in the 1940s. When they decided to marry just as apartheid was being introduced into South Africa, it caused an international uproar. But their passionate romance triumphed over every obstacle and changed the course of African history.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

A welcome reminder that, even in the direst of situations and in the most impossible of times, love can indeed trump hate.

The film plays like every other staid British historical drama you've ever seen.

FULL REVIEW

Richard Crouse

A beautiful looking movie, with solid if histrionic performances that has trouble balancing the romantic and partisan aspects of this touching real life tale.

The presentation is so by the numbers, so familiar, that it reads more like a book report than an emotional cinematic experience.

A slow-building but powerful example of history informing our current problems.
