Review of The Northman (2022) by Djhill42 — 28 Apr 2022
9.5/10.
After just one viewing of Robert Eggers first two films The witch and the lighthouse my initial scores were not nearly this high but this definitely feels like a more straightforward story. I will admit some things definitely confused me in the movie but they weren’t necessarily necessary things to understand at the time and eventually things happen later in the movie that clear up any confusion. The Valkyrie scene at the end was dope and visually stunning and was one of many visually stunning shots laced throughout the film. I absolutely think it’s safe to say after three films this is Eggers best looking and all the technical aspects of the movie are near perfect. The story is not as complicated as the lighthouse or the witch but Robert Eggers is absolutely a name anyone who follows and respects good films will know if they don’t already after this movie.
