Henry V (1989)

"Mr. Branagh's Henry has psychological heft and intellectual weight."

"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."

"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."

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