Check Out The Reviews of Red, White & Royal Blue Here:
Pinkvilla- The two main characters have found themselves stuck in their own realities, the difference being Henery hates being a public figure and the prince, while Diaz takes the opportunity he has to make his mark on the world. The movie explores a lot of themes, the main one being what it means to be a closeted queer person in a position of power, with the world of the wait on your shoulders. The chemistry of the lead couple is off the charts. Though Galitzine does most of the heavy lifting, the plotline is more brutal on his character than Perez's. The two actors are an absolute treat to watch throughout, the almost 2 hours run-time disappears into thin air as the duo's scenes that up most of the screen time.
Indian Express- Like most movies of its kind, Red, White & Royal Blue demands a pat on the back for simply saying the right things, without ever bothering to coat its progressive politics in an engaging story. The premise, however, is admittedly alluring. Red, White & Royal Blue will certainly please fans of Netflix’s Heartstopper, or even the reformed Boomers that were raised on an unhealthy dose of Hallmark Channel movies.

Financial Times- Everyone gets a happy ending, more or less, even the uptight monarch (none other than Stephen Fry). The script evenly distributes the sassy quips between the Brits and Yanks so as to avoid any diplomatic ill will. Some of the lines are fairly funny, like calling someone as gay as “the first 50 rows at a Lady Gaga concert”, but they never dilute a sugary-sweet confection. It’ll leave many viewers feeling as if they’d been covered in marzipan, cake and royal icing.
Red, White & Royal Blue movie released on Prime Videos on August 11. The movies stars Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine in lead roles.
