Plot:
Gawain (Dev Patel) likes to drink and sleep with Essel (Alicia Vikander), a sex worker in the local brothel. He does not like to take things seriously or to take on responsibility. His uncle the King (Sean Harris) and his Queen (Kate Dickie) see something more in him though, and his mother (Sarita Choudhury) also has plans for him. But on Christmas, Gawain's reckless fashion leads him to accept a game from the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson) in probably the worst way - with long-reaching consequences.
The Green Knight is an intense film with absolutely stunning images that did get a little exhausting for me at times. But I'd still recommend it, especially on the big screen.
