Poor man's reverse braveheart?
29 October 2023
I couldn't get "gender-swap braveheart attempt" out of my mind while trying to get through this, but even that would be an insult. With the exception of some of the fighting scenes, this had too big of an execution gap to take seriously. Really ham fisted script, costumes, and directing causes too many wonky scenes that I just couldn't keep myself from cringing on. I think the blonde helper (Ingrid from Vikings?) that was in this would have made a more convincing barbaric queen. I'm guessing the dialogue about how women cant lead and must be flogged was a narrative requirement to get this funded, or at least it came across that way. Some of the fighting scenes weren't awful though for the budget. Watch only if you can brush off a cheap and unconvincing execution.
