Fascinating viewing - if not historically accurate

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2019)

I thoroughly enjoyed this as a fantastic piece of storytelling. It was gripping from start to finish - not always easy in a movie over 2 hours - with fantastic performances and breathtaking cinematography.
One star deducted for being quite historically inaccurate. Didn't diminish my pleasure in watching the story unfold but adjusting people's perception of historical events isn't a good thing.
And another one deducted for being highly imitative of Game of Thrones. At times it felt like someone decided to make the Battle of the Bastards Extended Version.
So 8 out of 10 and definitely worth a watch.
