British historical drama in which the outlawed King of Scots hides from his enemies in the home of a peasant family.
Angus MacFadyen's long-planned passion project struggles to live up to its ambitions.
Earnest and overwrought historical drama undone by its own ambition.
Angus Macfadyen returns to the role he played 24 years ago in Mel Gibson's Braveheart with this stoic take on the Scottish freedom fighter that plays like a Celtic western.
This is a thoughtful, well-meaning crack at historical drama.
Robert The Bruce is no tub-thumping blockbuster as the trailer and title suggests, but a well-crafted slow-burner which though low in budget is high on quality and sure to galvanise #the45 and rising in support of independence.
