The King Movie

(2019)

★★★

It sure is likeable but it sure is long. The performances are excellent - Sean Harris in particular, and Chalamet proving he can do moody as well as authoritative, although RPats’ turn as the Joker stands out as rather odd, considering he’ll soon be playing Bruce Wayne. The battle of Agincourt is impressively staged too - a lot of money was thrown at the production, but the direction is plodding and both character development and story are slow. There’s no real warmth either - Hal’s quest to unite the kingdom is interesting but it’s hardly fun, and the script is bloated. The conclusions about the nature of war, nation building and monarchy are interesting but brief, a little obvious and far too long in coming.
