    Some of the scenes are beautiful, but many are dumb. I stayed through the whole thing, but 3 people left - and there were only maybe 12 of us in there. It is a half hour too long, and has very little action and much of the drama doesn't even make sense.

    This is a wonderful take on an Arthurian legend. The pacing is deliberately slow and purposeful, the cinematography amazing and Dev Patel fantastic in the lead. It’s not an action film but a visual delight and a meditation on death, nature and time.

    Really enjoyed this film. Beautifully shot, and a nice re-telling of an old tale which is pretty complicated to tell. Not an action film so not surprised by the negative comments on here, but if you are at all interested in the original tale, this is a nice adaptation. Not perfect but enjoyable.

    this movie is dumb. nice to look at. an acid trip of a movie. You have to actually care about the characters and build a plot to make you care. Dev Patel is a great actor but his talents are wasted here because you don't care what happens. I love A24 movies as well. A few, like Ghost Story are equally lame, trying too hard to be deep. This fits the bill. garbage

    Slooowww. Not hard to understand. I wanted to leave several times. I kept hoping the ending would make up for it. Not even close. I don't need a lot of action to enjoy a movie. It seems like they made this movie as a joke to see if people would act like they liked this garbage. I don't see how anyone could honestly say they enjoyed this film. IMO, they just say they did so they can look like they are "deep". Worst movie I've ever paid to watch.

    I'm SO tired of reading such bad reviews of this movie, but they are SO deserved. What I'm more sad about is that you can't award it negative Stars. It is a travesty of a movie. It probably sucks the life-giving oxygen from adjacent theatres in the multiplex. So sad that Dev Patel got stuck with this clunker. Yup, it deserves a -2 Stars.

    Forget about a solid storyline and special effects. They do have the standard talking animal and quick clips of sex scenes to keep your interest for a couple minutes. Other than that enjoy the scenery and costumes if you don’t fall asleep.

    Such a slow moving story that makes no sense. A complete waste of time and money

    This movie is a complete waste of time you’re better off streaming illegally but even that would be a waste of your time
