== Reception ==
Dennis Harvey, writing for Variety, stated of the film, "... this is biographical melodrama in a Ken Russell-esque mode of over-the-top histrionics, albeit without that late helmer’s distinctive visuals or touch of directorial madness; it’s hectic, unsubtle, borderline cartoonish... Psychological depth and period credibility are sacrificed to a popular audience’s presumed need to be constantly entertained (and titillated) in very up-to-the-moment terms."Film Review: ‘The Girl King’ - Dennis Harvey - 4 November 2015 - Variety - Retrieved 7 August 2021
