What critics are saying about The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride (film) study guide contains a biography of Rob Reiner, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis.This tone is woven beautifully into The Princess Bride, which relies on telling an epic story of deceit, loss, and hardship through an easy-going lens, one that reminds the audience that it's a parody. IndieWire's Oliver Lyttelton said of Reiner's direction that "the tone [he] strikes—loose, funny, absurd, but still with actual stakes—is pretty much perfection."

Director's Influence on The Princess Bride (film)

The visual architect behind The Princess Bride was the late, great Adrian Biddle (Aliens, The Mummy, V for Vendetta). While Rob Reiner had the comedic vision, it was Biddle who ensured the film didn’t look like a cheap television sketch. Coming off the gritty sci-fi world of Aliens (1986), Biddle brought a grounded, textural quality to the fantasy genre.
