Reaction: The big cast and the fairly depressing subject matter clearly did this film no favors at the box office. At least it wasn't a colossal bomb.
"The House of Romanov is a well told version of the true events. It's not going to surprise you, but it should keep you engrossed enough. Anchored by the talents of Alexander Skarsgard and Rebecca Ferguson, the film filled with strong, convincing performances from its cast." - Charlie Sage, HBC-TV
"Director Sam Mendes and writers John Malone and Ben Collins have crafted a pretty solid historical drama with The House of Romanov. It plays things a bit safe at times with how it tells the story, but the ending is still super impactful even if everyone knows what is destined to happen." - Katie Barnes, Washington Herald
"If you’re familiar with the story, it’s no surprise that this is a depressing experience but, as a result, that made me more appreciative of the choice to include brief moments of joy throughout. While Skarsgard and Ferguson lay it all on the line in the final scenes, the film largely rests on the shoulders of the children, with strong performances from Turner and Mackey making that a gamble worth taking." - George Overmyer, Baltimore Magazine
Rated R for thematic material and some graphic violence
