An Arthurian acid-trip detailing the ambiguity of what it means to be a hero; The Green Knight is a gorgeously obscure tale.

Best film I’ve seen in 2021 so far.

Even the product placement is baffling—lingering on a bottle of Cîroc like Diddy didn’t just have the most insane year ever. I’ve already forgotten the plot, yet somehow, they still had the nerve to set this up for another sequel.
