The Green Knight is The Seventh Seal with a talking fox; The Last Temptation of Christ with Treebeard, and will be hard to beat for my favorite film of the year.

Lowery is more interested in mystical quests than in fierce battles here, and his deeply personal on-screen depiction of the tale takes us so deeply into this feverish, supernatural world that we can almost feel its texture. Read more

The Green Knight is gorgeous. The color and framing are pure visual poetry. Together with this exceptional ensemble, Lowery’s created a magical realm where you believe anything could happen. Read more

It's beautifully crafted and in no rush to get to the end of its journey, but it's essentially a craft beer Krull. Read more

The distinctive visuals alone is well worth a watch, though hopefully you find a cinema where the showing isn’t overly dark. Read more

The Green Knight marks another outlandish outing for the David Lowery, who continues to flex the muscles of his artistic mind in the most creative and thought-provoking ways. This foray into folklore won’t be to everyone’s taste, but it’s encouraging to see another ambitious piece from one of most fascinating filmmakers around. Read more

Mulling over the complex totality of The Green Knight and how it portrays the 14th-century Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the befuddling result comes down, equally so for the main character’s quest, to choices. Read more

Countless scenes ramp up tension and forbidding imagery, only to stop far short of awe; nearly every sequence abruptly ends its build to stumble into anticlimactic weirdness. Read more

The Green Knight is dus niet de voorgekauwde fantasieprut waar we sinds de release van The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) mee overstroomd zijn. Zo durft David Lowery de kijker uit te dagen met stilistische keuzes die normaliter alleen in arthousefilms gangbaar zijn. Het resultaat is geen popcornvermaak, maar een machtige prestatie die nog lang zal blijven nagalmen bij liefhebbers van fantasierijke fictie. Read more

Je kan er van maken wat je wil en je eigen uitleg geven aan het geheel, en het blijft een schitterend in beeld gebrachte en goed geacteerde film van een eigenzinnige regisseur die ons wellicht ooit nog eens zal verbazen met een meesterwerk pur sang. Read more
