And like I said earlier, you may think you know this story, but you don’t. And you will never forget how everything plays out in the end. That’s what will make it an iconic film. Read more

Heightened, theatrical dialogue pairs with intense sequences of hyper-violence, and that is what you get. If that pairing doesn’t sound like a Pinot with a fine Gruyere, then this movie might not be your bag. Read more

It won’t be for everyone, but it absolutely is an amazing experience and an awesome picture, in part thanks to Skarsgård’s fully committed performance. I really do think that this is Robert Eggers’ best film. Read more

The Northman is a breathtakingly beautiful, gorgeously rendered vision that is as bloody and violent as it is strange and unmissable. Read more

This was an entertaining epic and never once boring. If you liked Braveheart and Gladiator then this should appeal. Read more

Splashing his well-earned creative currency on a grandiose pagan pagger, Robert Eggers is visibly growing in confidence and The Northman only strengthens his stature. With just the right amount of weird, it’s an ambitious, almighty feat of filmmaking that sacrifices none of the visionary director’s mythical madness. Read more

Classic is exactly how The Northman feels. The story is gritty and grand, the action brutal and the storytelling majestic. As is the case with Eggers, expect a fair amount of the supernatural and surreal to seep in here and there, but not enough to outweigh the meticulously crafted period realism. Read more

Amleth's story may be a tale as old as time, but while the story beats are familiar, the level of filmmaking on display here is an all too rare treat. Read more

Denoting a certain grim integrity, the film has its visual beauty exceeded only by the gruesomeness of the violence. As for the rest, there’s a scarce amount of cleverness here. Read more

There’s mild satisfaction to be found in some of the destructive confrontations, but plenty of dawdling and bewildering returns to bizarre ceremonies foster a dullness that surely won’t align with mainstream audiences’ expectations for thrilling Viking exploits. Read more

The Northman is een bloederig en visueel enorm indrukwekkend wraakepos! Van echt diepgang is er eigenlijk geen sprake, en ergens hadden we op dat vlak wat meer verwacht van Eggers. Read more

De horror is nooit veraf, wat ook niet verwonderlijk is voor wie de eerdere films van Eggers zag. Read more

The Northman is een waar Noorse epos waar Alexander Skarsgard weer heerlijk zijn dierlijke zelve mag zijn. Read more

De sfeer is duister, somber, koud, modderig en regenachtig. Het eindgevecht valt tegen al ben je blij dat de film vlot tot een einde komt. Niet dat The Northman slecht is, maar wel langdradig en zeker niet altijd even spectaculair. Read more

The Northman zit filmtechnisch sterk in elkaar, maar het verhaal is te standaard en biedt weinig vernieuwends binnen het wraakgenre. Als we kijken naar Robert Eggers' filmografie dan pakt The Northman misschien toch het minst indrukwekkend uit. Read more
