Peter Dennis’s review published on Letterboxd:
Who doesn’t want to watch a bunch of half naked men fighting and plotting to be with Juliette Binoche over the course of two hours ?
I was surprised at how into this I was considering how stoned I was . It did help it was a fairly simple story when I was expecting something more dense .
This was a positive.
I did spend a lot of the first part of the movie thinking “ why doesn’t anyone recognise him “ ? But if you just push that aside you’ll enjoy this .
I did chuckle at all the young muscle boys peacocking around in their little scarves no shirts . It was like Melbourne in the early spring .
I really have to single out Binoche my queen who I thought was incredible. One scene in particular with Fiennes was a standout . As for Fiennes what a year he is having between this and conclave . Also massive respect for how ripped he got for this and even more respect for getting your dick out once more .
It’s good to be the king .
