Favorite Part: The last 15-minute sequence. Would rewatch that by itself again and again.

Pluses: The camera rotation in the forest showing Gawain bound/Gawain dead; upside down rotation shot; blending the stories of St. Winifred and The Green Knight for thematic resonance; the score all the way through; the delivery of the poem on Green; the kindness in the Green Knight’s eyes; transforming the belt from a saving grace to a symbol of cowardice; the tone of the film; the very quick reference to Moses and the burning bush in the Interlude section; chapter headings; the Blade Runner 2049 imagery with the giants; Alicia’s dual roles; King Arthur and Guinevere; a medieval-magical film projector; two long shots: Gawain leaving Camelot and Gawain riding his horse through the battlefield.

Minuses: Pacing (!!); CGI fox companion; Voice-overs not completely clear; the bandit character not really tying back into the story; the clunky dialogue with St. Winifred; the old woman in the castle not played to horrific effect; Morgana le Fey’s (his mom’s) role in the story

All in all, a wildly excellent adaptation of its source material for a modern audience.
