what an awful movie 90% of the film is him walking and dealing with useless and meaningless shit it's like if you buy a game and only do side quests (not the fun ones!) speaking of games, this film is the equivalent of Death Stranding, just walking and no action I only gave it 3/10 because I liked the visuals other than that this movie lacks in everything awful story, no character development and most importantly no clear vision they just wanted to do a film and seem smart about it huge fail

An audiovisual poem from a medieval poem. A personal vision that turns a knight into a normal man, whose brief moment of bravery changes his destiny for good. It is a beautiful film, which seeks in aesthetics the visualization of the transformation process of Gawain, who renounces the traditional narrative to rise to dreams and fantasy. It is, therefore, a film to be absorbed, which aims to seduce rather than tell.

Visually stunning pile of quasi-artistic crap. I hate myself for not liking this movie because it is visually enchanting. A lot of effort went into the photography and it shows. The shots are masterfully crafted and combined with the sounds and the soundtrack do a great job of tailoring the drab atmosphere of a very long funeral procession Gawain believes he is about to embark on. And that's about it. This is not a very complicated story to make, but even stories like that can be made into compelling movies in the right hands. This movie was not in the right hands.

It's terribly sad to see comments that are taking the "story" for what it is worth at face value and outright dismissing the movie entirely

As loathe as I am to watch "arthouse" movies, this one certainly struck quite a few chords. The journey of the young, unsure, foolhardy k More

It’s time to play: Where Have I Seen This Story Before?

A bearded young man in old-timey times has a distant relationship with his kingly father figure, who expects great things of him. He’s in a state of arrested development and lives with his widowed mother, while his “official” father More

After mulling it over, I've come to a conclusion about _The Green Knight_.

I'm greatly confused by this.

I'm not sure if it's because I haven't read the original text, because it's an arthouse film that is supposed to be slow and disjointed for realism's sake, or be More
