King of My Castle

About This Movie

So, 'King of My Castle' is this quirky comedy that really plays with the concept of privilege and humility. The premise? A rich hotel owner decides to teach his spoiled son a lesson by making him think he’s been thrown back to the 18th century. It's got this bizarre charm, blending absurdity with a slice of social commentary. The set design is quite impressive; the village feels alive, even if it’s all practical effects. The pacing has its moments—some scenes drag, but others just hit that sweet spot of absurdity. Performances are a mixed bag, but the director's choice to keep it raw works in its favor. There's something oddly captivating about watching this kid grapple with peasant life, all under the watchful eye of his father’s surveillance.
