POSITIVES…
Looking for a unique, adventurous, artistic, and captivating story in the realm of Arthurian Legends? This one's for you.
This off-kilter narrative might be unwieldy for some to grasp, but it’s got some indispensable themes and lessons to say.
Cinematography, camera sweeps, and lighting effects, such fantastic visuals!
Excellent soundtrack that is perfectly atmospheric and equally haunting.
Dev Patel as Gawain. Such a magnificent actor tackling this role that consists of his character getting put through the wringer in unsuspecting ways.
Alicia Vikander playing two different characters here? Of course. She’s just that talented!
Ralph Ineson as the Green Knight himself is awesome. What a voice on him.
Sean Harris as the King. Great presence, and he too has quite the unique voice.
Joel Edgerton is also in this, and he is as good as ever.
Shout out to the fox!
As the story moves along, the unexpectedly bizarre encounters, and the characters Gawain meets, should keep you thoroughly engaged to see where things are going to go next.
I particularly really enjoyed the sequence involving Erin Kellyman. “Do not touch me!”
That ending. That ending could be its own movie, or TV series! Amazing.
David Lowery is a visionary filmmaker, and he really puts his stamp into this tale. What an experience!
NEGATIVES…
Some might not be into the methodically slow pacing and lingering meandering moments.
Narrative can feel too disjointed at times.
That font for the title cards, and the old timey prose. I could have used some closed captioning.
That ending. I mean, should it be considered a negative that I kinda guessed what was going to happen? It’s the only true familiar plot trope that this film has.
Not exactly a movie that spells things out for you, and in some cases it really just doesn’t bother giving you an explanation to a question you really want answers to.
Maybe it’s too artsy for a summer movie release?
