The New York Times
The New York Times"If Olivier gave us the glint of sunlight on armor and the wind roaring through the pennants and flags, Branagh gives us the rot, the mold, the wounds and the crusted blood underneath."

Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"There is a great deal of value in Branagh`s version, not least in his own lead performance as a soft, indefinite Henry who defines himself over the course of the play."

Chicago Tribune
Chicago Tribune"Branagh has made a hotblooded, lively and moving Henry V that speaks pertinently to a new generation."
