One hundred forty-nine minutes of pure, unadulterated culture.Full Review

While major stars thrust together on screen often end up undercutting each other, one of the pleasures of Becket is how easily and generously these two commanding actors play off each other, each allowing the other the space to make the most of their individual roles.Full Review

Burton is extraordinary in one of his rare good movie roles and O'Toole is regally madcap and larger than life. No doubt his Oscar-nominated appearance in "Venus" has prompted this rerelease of Becket. They make a fascinating then-and-now combination.Full Review

O'Toole just keeps turning up the volume, and it's thrilling to watch.Full Review

It is a snapshot of a great actor in his prime and a chance for us to see one of yesteryear's great films in all its kingly luster.Full Review
