An intense story of Henry V... I felt taxed by its end as a good film can be.

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2019)

The story of Henry V and the one the most impressive military victories in history, told with excellent performances by all, but most profoundly by the chemistry between Chalamet and Edgerton. Chalamet as Henry V is uncomfortable, uncertain, brooding, and intense the entire film. Edgerton as Falstaff, Henry's friend and drinking buddy turned military captain is hard and tough with quiet except when he knows what he needs to say. Pattinson is always a joy to watch and he is equally interesting as the French Dauphin, though we don't get to see him nearly enough.
This is a story of uncertainty, disillusionment, deep anger, deception, war and power. A very well done film that leaves one feeling the pain of being deceived, manipulated, and unfulfilled even in victory. I felt taxed by its end as a good film can be. Well done Netflix!
