This was Robert Hamer's masterpiece...
September 01, 2011
Shot through with pitch black humour and biting satire on both the moribund upper class and the grasping venality of the suburban middle class.
March 26, 2009
Translation to a screen comedy has been effected with a mature wit.
August 18, 2011
Technically brilliant and savagely funny, serial killing has never looked so much fun.
February 09, 2006
It's a brilliantly cynical film without a hint of middle-class guilt or bitterness.
December 20, 2014
A high comedy that is enlivened with cynicism, loaded with dramatic irony and shot through with a suspicion of social satire.
August 17, 2011
At once a witty comedy of manners, a grotesque serial-killer caper and an acerbic satire on the class system.
August 22, 2011
Hamer had a particular liking for the late-Victorian/Edwardian world and was a great Francophile.
New York Times
May 20, 2003
The sly and adroit Mr. Guinness plays eight Edwardian fuddy-duds with such devastating wit and variety that he naturally dominates the film.
London Evening Standard
August 19, 2011
Amazingly courageous for its day (1949) in combining bad taste with good comedy.
September 03, 2010
Robert Hamer's 1949 film is often cited as the definitive black, eccentric British comedy, yet it's several cuts better than practically anything else in the genre.
September 27, 2002
Despite its murders and intrigues, its betrayals and blood feuds, Kind Hearts and Coronets has a dry and detached air.
