Tried to stay awake throughout the film. People were leaving the movie & checking thei time on their phones to see if it was almost over. The story was pointless. 92% of the movie was the main actor doing nothing & the other 8% you'll be like WTF did I just watch?

This movie was amazing! It's as A24 as A24 gets, and I love it for that! Anyone who calls it boring is a boring person to me. This movie gives you so much to chew on and digest. It treats it's audience like they're smart instead of explaining everything, or showing…

If you're looking for LOTR or Pirates Of The Carribean sword play and action, this isn't the movie for you. If you want a thought provoking epic fantasy story that lends itself itself the viewers interpretation, then this is definitely for you. Seeing people can it "boring"…

The trailer was epic which made me want to see the movie. OMFG if this wasn't the opposite. I dozed off several times in disbelief. My audience was confused the majority of the time as I listened to conversations while leaving the theater. Don't be deceived by the awesome…

Literally the worst movie I’ve ever seen! I’ve never walked out of a movie but even the money I spent in it wasn’t enough to keep me in that theater. DO NOT WATCH!!

Hated it. And I don’t hate many movies. So boring and made no sense to a simple mind like mine.

I wanted to like this movie, it had a great cast and cool vibe to the trailers. But A24 made it so weird I just blanked out half way through. I believe that studio puts together movies to see how far they can push the weird factor.

The movie is shot without much light to the point where the screen is so dark for such long stretches at a time you can barely make out what’s going on! I get it! It’s the Middle Ages… but they still had SOME natural sun light!!! Bad date night movie!!!

if you like Arthurian Legendary tales, you will like this film. If you are expecting an epic battle movie, you will be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic if you are into indie, arthouse films. Only for real cinema fans. The BEST Arthurian movie made.

weird. not Great by any stretch and I kept wanting more but it just never came. I thought there would be more story or more action or more something but it just did not deliver. too bad I wasted $7 on it.

Film was very slow and not to the point.Honestly thought it would’ve been action packed, but boy was I wrong, it was weirdly creepy and not enjoyable!

It was hard.to follow. I'll need to do research on it and compare to the movie. Confused!

This was a really great movie. Production and cameras did wonderfully. The main character and all his encounters really keeps your focus throughout. Scenes were unpredictable and a lot of mystery and free artistic expression involved.

Most people aren't going to understand the medieval epic poetry is WEIRD. Add to that it's A24 and it's really weird!! But that's what I love about this film!!

If the result sends viewers scuttling back to Armitage’s uniquely accessible version of the source text, then that would be marvellous indeed. But there is enough here that is dazzling and enthralling for Lowery’s movie to stand proudly as a grand work of poetry in its own right.

The Green Knight's sheer originality makes the film worth considering for anyone with a taste for such material.

The Green Knight is about someone who keeps waiting for external forces to turn him into the gallant, heroic figure he believes he should be. But at the film’s heart is a lesson that’s as timeless as any legend — travel as far as you like, but you’ll never be able to leave yourself behind.
