There's more than a little of the school pageant in the rhythm of the movie: Though it's all neater than our school drama coaches could make it, the figures group and say their assigned lines and move on.

Producer-director Fred Zinnemann has blended all filmmaking elements into an excellent, handsome and stirring film version of A Man For All Seasons.
A.D. Murphy, Variety
Rotten
Robert Bolt's boring historical drama functions best as an anthology of British acting styles, circa 1966.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Orson Welles alone relieves the boredom in a marvellous cameo as Cardinal Wolsey. If only they'd let him loose with the whole sorry history...
Tom Charity, Time Out

A Man for All Seasons is a picture that inspires admiration, courage and thought.
