Director – David Lowery; Credited Screenwriter – David Lowery
A beautiful, captivating & tragicomic journey through the annals of Arthurian legend, one that escews the epic for the personal touch. It feels in many ways like a sucessor to A Field In England, ultimately ending up a richer and more satisfying experience. Patel makes for a charismatic and relatable lead, further solidifying his status as the auter’s movie star. The combination of his performance and Lowery’s direction gives a window right into the soul of a character that reads merely as a cipher on the 700 or so year old page. The film will lead you fufilled, often dazzled, and with the voice of Ralph Ineson ringing in your ears.
Even Briefer, Please: An absolute Yes, very few films like it in the world.
