The Green Knight Reviews
Lowery's ability to represent dark and medieval fantasy in an original visual way, while adding to the deconstruction of the hero's journey, gives a sense of power to the film. Patel was the perfect choice. [Full review in Spanish]

The Green Knight is a cinema experience like few others.
| Original Score: A | Jul 2, 2024
“The Green Knight” has a magnificent cast and is visually stunning. If it was a silent film, I may have enjoyed it more.

Possibly the most beautiful, and near inscrutable film this year, is David Lowery's epic, Arthurian tale. In a film world full of obvious explanations, The Green Knight provides precious few.

The performances are second to none, the plot is interesting and the surreal medieval feel is nothing short of an experience. The cinematography is the movies shining star, with memorable shots creating a visionary spectacle.

Spellbound journey that had me in a hauntingly beautiful trance the entire way through. Bleak, Bold, Brilliant, & downright thought provoking.

Andrew Droz Palermo's stunning cinematography, Daniel Hart's atmosphere-setting score, and especially Johnny Marshall's impactful sound design deeply elevate the tremendous epic scope that this movie holds.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 25, 2023
The beauty of nature captured by carefully constructed camera work with poignant editing can only last so long.

The Green Knight is astounding. It’s a magical experience of looking at the modern view of the dramatization of Gawain, regardless of whether they are a few changes from the original poem.

Overall, The Green Knight’s impactful imagery and intensity outweigh its sometimes overly cryptic metaphors, allowing for quality entertainment.

Of all the quality films released in 2021, none delivered a sense of awe for me as a viewer quite like David Lowery’s latest.

The retelling of Welsh lore marries the core draw of the fantasy genre with themes of religion, morality, and chivalry in a grand epic hoping to soothe the burns left behind by Game of Thrones.
| Original Score: 7.5 | Feb 23, 2023
It’s got one of the best 4K releases of the year, which enhances the gorgeous cinematography, the rich sound design, and the ethereal score that permeates the film.
| Feb 10, 2023
The Green Knight is not for the faint of heart. Its methodical pacing will challenge viewers, but its execution will warrant cinephiles accepting that challenge. As a result, it’s one of Lowery’s best films and one of the best films of 2021.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 31, 2023
The Green Knight is a mesmerizing and marvelously crafted masterwork from director David Lowery, who effortlessly enlivens the Arthurian legend of yore.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022
I will always argue that the screen is a very different medium from the page, and that film should be judged as a different medium, but this film version fails...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2022
David Lowery uses every ounce of his creative freedom to make something audacious, challenging, and unlike any Arthurian adaptation we’ve seen to date.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022
Lowery wholeheartedly dives into the legend. [Full review in Spanish]

Inspired by 80s fantasy films Willow and Excalibur, a tale that risked being stodgy and inaccessible becomes enthralling thanks to its captivating visuals. In Gawain, Patel brings us a medieval hero who feels human.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 3, 2022
The Green Knight thrives with its intrigue and suspense.
