The Northman

a review by Manuel São Bento

"The Northman boasts a brutal score worthy of the biggest blockbusters, tremendously elevating a revenge journey filled with Norse mythology and impressive one-take sequences. The typical heavy slow-burn that will bore many audiences hoping for an action extravaganza - it's indeed too long and uneventful - but it remains a must-see of 2022.

A strong contender for best cinematography (Jarin Blaschke) of the year. Robert Eggers remains on the right path to becoming a renowned filmmaker. Alexander Skarsgård completely transforms himself into one of the best roles of his career.

Highly recommended!"
