Movie Review: The Northman


TLDR: Hamlet, with Vikings and an otherworldly edge.  Bloody as all hell.  Not for the faint of heart.  If you think you can stomach it – and they consciously toned down some of the Viking Fun & Games – see it.  4.5/5 stars.  Trailer Link

Why not 5/5 stars?  At times it was difficult to tell one viking from the other because everyone was so covered with filth and blood.  Occasionally this muddied the story line, but hey, that's what a re-watch is for.  See the movie, watch the special features, then re-watch with the commentary track.  There's a lot to unpack here.
