This is probably the most expansive and ambitious movie in Robert Eggers career. I’m totally here for the surrealism, the vikings’ mystical elements and the breathtaking visuals. My favorite from Eggers to date. A first-class cast and idk why I'm still surprised, it definitely exceeded my expectations. You can say anything about The Northman, but in the end it’ll leaves a mark on you. Unbelievable accuracy depicting a version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet style story telling. So epic and memorable.
For a movie in the wizard world, this one lacks the magical touch that harry potter had. and I couldn’t care less about any of these characters.
