- 67Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerKing Knight is a weird delight, the kind of unlikely low-budget pleasure in which Ray Wise turns up as everybody’s favorite f*cking magician and delivers dancing lessons.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreStone cold sober, King Knight is a bit of a sweet-spirited grind, funny intent delivering funny moments that are so scattered the picture never gets up a comic head of steam.
- 30Film ThreatAlex SavelievFilm ThreatAlex SavelievAn inkling of an inventive concept lurks somewhere deep within the murk. Unfortunately, you'll be hard-pressed to spot it amidst all the meandering diversions, prepubescent humor, imbecilic dialogue, and curious casting choices.
- 25RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyRogerEbert.comTomris LafflyAimless, immature, and frustratingly amateurish, Richard Bates’ “King Knight” feels like it was made exclusively for those involved in it, with no regard for an audience’s patience or time.
- 25The Film StageBrianna ZiglerThe Film StageBrianna ZiglerA far cry from Bates’ elegant 2012 bloodbath Excision, King Knight is a mostly insipid, overlong sitcom episode not worth tuning in for.
