The Green Knight (2021)
The Green Knight is incredible!!
Dev Patel, quite aside from being a beautiful human being, was brilliantly cast, the cinematography is absolutely stunning, and if you pay attention to the dialogue, symbolism and casting (seriously guys, the clues are everywhere) it's actually really easy to follow. It remains true to the spirit of the source material, if not the letter - which is entirely the point of both movie and poem and the ethical ideals which they discuss - honestly, absolutely masterful
A lot of the reviews here complain that it's "pretentious" and "weird" but like, it's a movie based on a medieval epic poem that critiques Christian virtue ethics - what else did you possibly expect??
Tales from the Lodge (2019)
Bad Writing and Incredibly Homophobic
This movie was such a disappointment
The premise sounded great and it had the cast to carry it well, but the plot made no sense and by the final act it had devolved in to bare faced bigotry the likes of which I haven't seen since the Thatcher years and Section 28 - in 2019 there is absolutely no justification for it!
"Gay man, rejected by straight friend, goes on a killing spree and has a sex change for no reason" isn't a twist, it's just homophobic.
