This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Nicole! Nicole!! This motion picture is Oedipal af! Really though, the scene where Amleth and Gudrún reunite, it’s really brilliant work from both Skarsgard and Kidman. That’s where The Northman really won me over.
But dude you literally cannot be kissing & stabbing your mother with a big sword, think of the optics!!
Hugh Grant is delightfully unnerving, and looks like he’s having so much fun! I found Chloe East’s face and performance to be deeply Mormon. Praise must be given to Sophie Thatcher, who has given us some of 2024’s wettest eyes- to say nothing of the lip quiver work.
Gorgeous camera work and unsettling tone, especially before what I’d call its “grunge turn”. Now, does it all amount to much? Maybe! I don’t know that I need it to ultimately.
