THE GREEN KNIGHT (& The Wannabe Knight)
THE GREEN KNIGHT was likely one the most anticipated movie of the year, if not the most hyped pandemic-delayed release courtesy of A24 and directed, written, edited, and produced by David Lowery (yep definitely one of his!) and it did not disappoint; if anything it might be one of those rare films that exceed all expectations!
I. The Movie, The Myth, The Legend…
As per “the internet”, this is an epic medieval fantasy film based on the 14th-century poem Sir Gawain and The Green Knight… And yes it is just that but with a few changes and twists!
It follows Gawain, played by Dev Patel, as he embarks on a journey to become an honorable man, a knight, and well, someone with a story to tell.
For those familiar with the poem the movie is keeping pretty close to the source material as Lowery only swaps a few characters' relationships (but saying more will be spoilers...maybe!)
On a weird Christmas day, at Arthur (yep that Arthur)‘s roundtable in Camelot, Gawain receives a challenge from an impressive greenish wooden man with an equally impressive axe, the Green Knight - who made an ominous grand entrance in the middle of a festivity "Maleficent style"!
Gawain has to basically hurt/kill the Knight with his ax in order to win the famous ax. Weird enough?! But to make it weirder, however, one year later Gawain must travel to a green chapel to receive the same treatment...That’s how bad one must want that huge axe: to maybe or maybe not meet their certain death 365 days later. That is, if they are brave enough to face the consequence of their action (or take the Green Knight words seriously!) And so, our young man does just that and, even though he is not the heroic-looking dude, he will travel to far far away lands and encounter other weird people/things on the journey…
The moral of this story is an admirable one, a true hero journey about a boy becoming a man (or a knight in that case), but also one where our chap Gawain realizes a man is only human after all!
II. The Cast: The Men, Women, & Other
Well, yes first, the man, the myth, the legend itself, Gawain.
This iteration of the character is played to perfection by Dev Patel who brings a certain cluelessness and chill to a character that is looking to be courageous and exemplary. So he really is “just like us”: scared of Sh!t that looks too uncanny to be true! He is a bit too gullible too, trusting everyone, and he has a childlike approach to many things due to his past as a privileged mommy’s boy who only enjoyed life without major worries. That being said, he is not a brat, a bro, or a bully type, he has a good heart.
We can see many of these attributes in pretty much all of Patel’s previous work, but this role is like a combo, thus “Peak Patel” and hopefully he will get that Oscar nom(since he did not get for THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD they better…)
Then there are….Women!
Alicia Vikander playing two very interesting roles here showing her acting chops while looking fabulous and mischievous. One has to admit it was a clever thing to have her personifying two very metaphorical and symbolic female roles. One of her “persona” is somehow the most enigmatic characters of this film (along with her husband played by Joel Edgerton) as there can be many readings as to why are her character’s motives and true meaning(S).
The same can be said for Sarita Choudhury who is perfect in this role of many interpretations (side note: blindcasting tales of the past often works wonder!)
Oh yes, there are GIANTS women that might also be real or not, and likewise possibly carrying various meanings.
Other notable additions are Barry Keoghan and Kate Dickie showing up to play yet other weirdos, and then there is, of course, the Green Knight himself, a tree who becomes a man once in a while...Or is it a man made out of a tree; a Man-tree!?
And last but not least an ethereal fox who might be the literal voice of reason...But if not, he is just another enchanting and bizarre addition!
III. The Cinematography
The word on the street is; yes this is a masterpiece and every frame could be a painting on its own, carefully created and thought.
Captivating would be the best way to describe the visual of THE GREEN KNIGHT that is hypnotizing but also giving us good/bad vibes, like a beautiful nightmare...or a nightmare-ish dream!
IV. The Trippiness
Sort of linked with the previous point: THE GREEN KNIGHT is indeed one of the trippiest movies there is for various reasons, from otherworldly sets to totally whack scenes that will make you wonder '#wtf I am watching right now!?'
Not only the film is a “moody mood” or a “vibing vibe” but it displays some serious VFX that makes it bound for awards glory in that department (also!)
*Minor spoiler for those who know*
The ANNIHILATION effects face morph was something something...
And again yes, it is a trip cuz of all the freaking giants - that might make whale noise! , talking animals, reappearing stuff, and/or hallucinations aplenty! Plus this is an A24 f afterall and there is a bonkerz je ne sais quoi about it! (About that, at some point we got another A24 release vibe: the excellent SAINT MAUD - Could it be because of all the redemption, sacrifice, and... fire stuff!)
V. The Costume & Props & Others
We established that THE GREEN KNIGHT was a visual feast of sceneries, settings, and light, but it would not be complete without a good serving of looks!
The costumes and hair were yet another highlight, particularly the “refreshed” amazing crowns and period outfits (altho it is a trend we see quite a lot on some film/series lately) and jewelry that made medieval style great again! BUT without being obnoxious.
*Bonus point for the vegan options😱
VI. The Music
Well, as every great movie does THE GREEN KNIGHT hits the trifecta; story, sight & sound…
The ominous score (and sounds of the Underground) and also “refreshed” medieval-like songs, complete the immersive experience. As stated, same as for the costume, Daniel Hart perfectly blended classical/period instruments and music with new wave sounds and folk-like tunes; like "Mumford & Son gone bards"... Yep that's right, Lowery sure knows how to keep it hipsterish!
Moral Of The Story: 9/10 *****
-Sure,THE GREEN KNIGHT is an instant cult classic that will have a devoted fan base forever and ever and ever! And hell yeah it is a Xmas movie after all, like “The Ghost of Christmas Past; The OG” or “The Arthurian version”! So consider this film your early Xmas fairy-tale (well kinda!)
-Sure, THE GREEN KNIGHT should be ideally seen on a huge screen with a booming sound system, but strangely its effect might be multiplied if you watch it at home at midnight by yourself in the dark (hopefully with the headphone on and on the biggest screen you have only inches away from your eyes!)
-Sure, THE GREEN KNIGHTis on the slower side, and things meander for maybe too long (although not as obnoxiously as seeing someone painfully eat a WHOLE pie!) but the poesy of it all and the accompanying OST will delight those reveling in passive contemplation like in front of a painting!
-Sure-ly if you love some fantasy, medieval and if you were (still are!) into the whole Arthurian legends & stuff, then, no doubt THE GREEN KNIGHT was made for you!
- Sure, the twisty ending(s) will stay with you forever and ever and ever… It is without hesitation one of the best (ever?!)
So grab your sword, axe, cloaks & dagger, and, if you haven’t already (or you fancy going at it again!), go watch THE GREEN KNIGHT tonight!

The Ice Road (2021)
The Ice Road benefits greatly from the inherent tension of its premise. By the time you’ve realized this isn’t a good film, you’ve seen enough that you want to know how to ends and keep watching.
An explosion in a Manitoba mine traps 26 miners. Their only hope is for special equipment to be brought from Winnipeg before their air runs out in 30 hours. Hauling the necessary wellheads are Mike McCann (Liam Neeson) and his brother Gurty (Marcus Thomas), Jim Goldenrod (Laurence Fishburne), and Tantoo (Amber Midthunder), with Katka Mining Co. actuary Varnay (Benjamin Walker) ensuring the operation runs smoothly - and safely.
The film’s title refers to the ice road necessary to get to the mine: a cleared path on Manitoba’s frozen lakes that will allow the truckers to arrive in time. The danger comes from the road itself. This story takes place in April, weeks after the roads have been closed for the season. The ice is relatively thin. If the trucks move too slowly, they could break through the surface. Too fast, and they’ll create waves beneath them that will crack the ice. So much could go wrong. You’re anxious any time we see underwater shots pointing at the sky or spot cracks forming. There are more opportunities to sweat whenever we see the miners. Some of the survivors are in rougher shape than others and when bad news trickles in from the surface, people suggest a triage…
There's plenty to keep you invested, particularly with the strained relationship between Mike and his brother, an Iraq War veteran suffering from PTSD and aphasia. Then, writer/director Jonathan Hensleigh introduces new elements to amp up the stakes - some of which I’m not sure make sense. First, we have some racial tension between Tantoo and Varnay - both are prejudiced against the other. It’s unnecessary and makes you feel icky but it’s well-thought-out compared to the conspiracy we discover...
Katka Mining Co. turns out to be as villainous as the Umbrella Corporation. They bribed miners to turn off key sensors and told them they'd be safe. Now the CEO doesn’t want anyone rescued - they'd be exposed. You might as well go from criminal negligence to flat-out murder then. They’re banking heavily on none of the miners having talked about the shady business to anyone and the insurance payout out. This of course means that Varnay is sabotaging the trucker’s mission. I don’t know what Katka Mining is paying but it must be a lot. Getting knocked off a cliff isn't even a deterrent from doing his job. What a trooper! Even if villains disregarding their safety for no good reason isn't a pet peeve of yours, you'll roll my eyes at how over-the-top the film gets
I should’ve seen the twists coming - they’ve been done before many times in other movies of this caliber. I didn’t because I held onto hope The Ice Road would be good. It isn’t. Exciting, yes. Good? No. (July 7, 2021)
