Movie Nation - Roger Moore
The sprawl of it, the seeming disorganization, all work to its advantage and betray Kings' ambition. Ergüven wasn’t going for documentary, she was aiming for an impressionistic “feel” — terror, outrage, helplessness, a city and a system that aren’t built for you, even when you’re hurt, even when you’re in trouble.

The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
For all its honorable intentions to address sensitive issues that still sting, Kings is an unconvincing tonal patchwork.

Variety - Peter Debruge
Kings is a tangle of conflicting moods and emotions.

The New York Times - Glenn Kenny
The first English-language film from the Turkish-French director Deniz Gamze Ergüven (her 2015 movie “Mustang” was a foreign language Oscar nominee) is well-acted across the board, and contains more than a few outstanding, unpredictable scenes. But in tying its story to this particular moment in American history, the movie bites off more than it can coherently chew.

Chicago Sun-Times - Richard Roeper
The English-language debut from the brilliant talent behind best foreign film picture nominee “Mustang” is a terribly uneven, borderline absurdist jumble that undercuts its own message again and again.
