WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR (Television Release 2015)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

William the Conqueror—documentary-styled short movie—places shallow investigation of William’s life throughout the film almost as if not enough research was done on this historical figure or the information is lacking. The movie orders itself well. The casting of Vincent Deniard for William seems a bit awkward but interesting.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. For a simple, brief overview of William’s life, the movie/documentary works; but, be aware that the first part of the film tells the story and everything after that is just reiteration.
