Well worth your time

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2019)

Brooding and understated, The King is a most excellent recent arrival on Netflix. Covering the life of young King Henry the Fifth as he comes to power it is a long and beautiful film full of strong performances.
Every scene of this seems carefully crafted and the end result is a feast for your eyes. Even when it came to the main battle, they pull off a fight right up there with The Battle of the Bastards in Game of Thrones. It will make you hold your breath and squirm in your seat as it all unfolds. It was very well executed, and might even be the first time I've seen knights in full suits of armour take to the field in a film.
Being a historical story if you are familiar with this part of English history there may not be much here story-wise that is new, but the quality of everything you see on screen makes it well worth your time.
