A straightforward revenge story with visually immersive cinematography, but the dull climax and underwhelming action sequences were a letdown.

The Northman is visceral with a consistently grim tone.

There's a lot to praise about The Northman, from the brilliant direction of Robert Eggers to the performances given by the cast. The cinematography is also a marvel; the world painted here is striking, and enlivened with brute action and a killer score.

The subject matter in The Northman may be hackneyed and probably isn't driven by a lot of character development but as a whole, it is an utter Viking movie.

The viewer is catapulted into the world of the early Middle Ages with merciless severity. He is confronted with all the brutality and horror of this time. That's how it must have been back then, maybe even worse, but that's what makes this film so unique and why it stands out from the crowd. Simply outstanding, the actors Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, all in top form! A very good film, awesome, brilliant, brilliant!

"The Northman" is the first film in quite some time that made me feel like I was transported somewhere else. Watching this movie was like living through the pages of mythical folklore. No punches are pulled here: "Vikings" are not portrayed glamorously, and the violence is unflinching and honest. Every scene completely captures and demands the attention of the audience. On a purely aesthetic level the film is sublime, but that is not to discredit the terrific acting and writing too. I almost want to describe "The Northman" as "Conan the Barbarian" meets "Hamlet". The fantastical elements never feel out of place (if anything the movie would feel strange without them). The storytelling is efficient - not a single scene or line of dialogue is wasted - and the journey of the protagonist unfolds in a very Shakespearean manner. Even if you have no interest in expect acting, writing, and cinematography you should see this movie just to see how action scenes SHOULD be filmed (and there are plenty of those). I am expecting and hoping this movie to appeal to average film-goers as well as those who appreciate cinema.… Expand

From the mind that gave us films like The Witch and The Lighthouse, director Robert Eggers has given us a ferocious version of Amleth that really needs to be seen on the big screen to be fully appreciated.

A young Viking prince witnesses hisFrom the mind that gave us films like The Witch and The Lighthouse, director Robert Eggers has given us a ferocious version of Amleth that really needs to be seen on the big screen to be fully appreciated.

A young Viking prince witnesses his father’s murder and his kingdom stolen from him. Years later and now a man, Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård) consumed by rage and hatred now seeks to avenge his father. This is a Viking movie unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. It’s a visually spectacular, blood drenched revenge thriller. There will be scenes scarred into your brain forever as only Robert Eggers can do (yes I’m still mentally scarred from The Lighthouse).

The Northman is by far my favourite film from Robert Eggers, I may not have been a big fan of either The Witch or The Lighthouse but I liked how well they were directed and looked. Eggers has a very unique style and vision and honestly I’m always curious to see what he’ll do next so I wasted no time booking tickets for The Northman. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope the other 20 people in the screen enjoyed it too, although I think we might all be left with hearing damage from the whole experience. Now before any of you accuse me of acting like an old lady, the place was literally vibrating from the noise I thought the ceiling tiles would start falling down on us, thank you very much Odeon (yes I did mention the sound issue to the staff, no it didn’t make any difference). My ears may still be ringing but I still loved the film, even if it was a little dragged out in places.

Egger’s previous movies have always felt very authentic, especially the dialogue, (for anyone worried if the dialogue is too Shakespearean to follow everything that’s happening, rest assured that is not the case). The Northman is no different and it definitely feels like a lot of research went into making this as realistic as possible and wow does it sure show. Immersive cinema at its best, you could hear a pin drop in the screen. Incredibly tense and will have you on edge for the entirety.

The Northman is everything I’d expect from a Robert Eggers Viking movie, a very dark, brutally violent and mental gorefest. Film fans be sure not to miss out on this one because it’s a cinematic experience you won’t want to miss. Two hours and twenty minutes of roaring blood-soaked Vikings won’t be to everyone’s tastes, I’d suggest anyone unsure of this should watch the trailer first as it gives a pretty good taste of what’s in store. Highly recommended for all the Robert Eggers fans.… Expand

This story is well known of course. It's a classic revenge story and if you know anything more about Hamlet than just Shakespeare's name, then you'll know pretty well who Amleth is. But even a classic story can become something quite different, it all depends on how you tell it.

In The Northman Eggers respects his own precepts and stays true to what he did in The Witch and The Lighthouse.
Certainly he has to give in to certain whims of more conventional cinema, but that's understandable because hardly a studio will give him $90 million without considering getting their hands in the production. Nevertheless and fortunately, his signature is fully present in everything you see on screen. It is clearly his vision.

In terms of plot, narrative and psychological depth, I had heard some comparisons to The Green Knight that I didn't quite understand. I mean, I don't doubt that Eggers could have delivered such a film had he set his mind to it, but even beyond what he had to allow himself as an auteur when faced with creating a film that felt more accessible, The Northman has a more than palpable and pulsating identity. A violent and crude identity.

If in any way you feel he sacrificed his style and freedom to create something bigger and different, that's understandable, but judge his work by what he does and not by what you feel he may have lost as a filmmaker.

Ultimately, The Northman is not a subtle or nuanced film, and didn't try to be one, yet its savage, raw and bloody brutality more than makes up for any discernible weaknesses, if you are able to understand that this is the film he set out to do.… Expand

A facilidade do protagonista em alcançar seus objetivos me incomodou um pouco (sério que ninguém viu um menino enrolado em uma manta vermelha fugindo?), mas a fotografia estupenda de Jarin Blaschke vai te fazer desviar o olhar de acasos como esse.

Much more straightforward than his previous films, The Northman is a brutal, beautifully directed story of revenge that arrives pretty much where you'd expect, but takes some seriously unexpected turns along the way.

Because this legend has been around for so long and has inspired countless of famous stories, which in turn have inspired even more famous stories, it will probably feel like you've already seen this before, but that never really takes away from the spectacle.

You really have to put yourself in the place of young viking child, being told this as a bedtime story by your burly bearded viking father and being wowed by the all the magic and beheading. That may sound oddly specific, but to be fair, the film does a pretty good job at making you feel like that.… Expand

Robert Eggers — of 'The Witch' and 'The Lighthouse' fame — faces the biggest challenge of his career by taking charge of a big Hollywood production, risking creative control for the very first time. And, of course, as we know, he had to concede a lot to the studio; but if this is the edited version of it, I can see The Eggers Cut being the new McGuffin of the 21st-century cinephile. Either way, you really have to thank Eggers and everyone involved for the craft and the passion behind the so-called "most accurate Viking film" ever. Tracking shots are amazing; the violence is ruthless but precise; the production values are exquisite, and the acting is fine. Sure, the drama is not that well developed, especially during the second act, but the excitement of watching a group of berserkers raiding a village with absolute savagery, or witnessing an epic showdown in an active volcano cannot be understated. Vengeance is the main theme of the film, but I appreciate how Eggers and Sjón — cowriter — slow but surely create doubts in Amleth — the Hamlet similarities, of course, are no coincidence —, a prince in exile that must choose between hating the past or embracing the future. To be or not to be. Again, there's not that much originality in here, but it´s all about execution. In any other director, this would've turned out in the most generic way possible.

And, finally, you just have to surrender to the fact that this is Björk's first acting credit in more than a decade. That has to count for something.

Gonna patiently wait for the Blu-ray to complete an already magnificent experience. #ReleaseTheEggersCut… Expand

His third feature overall, The Northman evokes a classic Norse epic at grandoise scale. Written by Eggers himself and the well known Sugarcubes alum, poet and lyricist Sjon, the story of the Northman in language and visual content comes across as a tale straight out of the Edda. The films epic scale and visceral storytelling comes across equally as powerfully within its cinematography, mastered by a returning Jarin Blaschke who joined Eggers on his previous film, The Lighthouse. Norse themes and motifs come alive in brilliant and traditional fashion thanks to a mighty score by Robin Carolan and Sebastian Gainsborough. Acting is also one of the films many triumphs, as Alexander Skarsgard, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicole Kidman, and Claes Bang all bring their A-Game to this film. Eggers has proven to be an exciting new voice in Hollywood and thus far his films have held few missteps. If anything relatively negative comes from this third outing of his, it's that the film's a slow burn may not be some viewers cup of tea, and even for me (a large fan of his), the runtime lingers right on the edge of being a tad overlong. It's ending is also relatively abrupt considering the pacing of the film, which left me maybe yearning for a more resounding and drawn out finish. Still, the Northman is yet another well fletched arrow in this inspiring directors quiver, and Eggers continues to carve a strong path into the filmsphere.… Expand

After just one viewing of Robert Eggers first two films The witch and the lighthouse my initial scores were not nearly this high but this definitely feels like a more straightforward story.

The Valkyrie scene at the end was dope and visually stunning and was one of many visually stunning shots laced throughout the film. I absolutely think it’s safe to say after three films this is Eggers best looking and all the technical aspects of the movie are near perfect.

La parte más técnica, sobre todo fotografía y movimientos de cámara, magistrales.

Gonna be completely honest, I went into this movie pretty blind as I wasn't even aware that this was directed by the same guy who did The Witch and The Lighthouse.

I went in expecting a lot more action with historical accuracy in mind but I was completely mistaken. Don't be mistaken there is plenty of action however this movie is filled with a ton of mythology and symbolism. Despite being surprised by that I was more than pleased with the movie. I will say some of the ritual scenes felt a little unnecessary or at least dragged out but even with those minor complaints I really had a good time.… Expand

The Northman blew my mind, it is a total delight from beginning to end, a story that mixes the real with fantasy, with incredible battle scenes, the beautiful photography, oh my god I can't describe here everything I felt watching this cinematic gem.

The film is not made for every moviegoer, as it focuses on a special audience. There are some fight scenes, but they are not very present and therefore not necessarily suitable for the Marvel superhero viewer. However, the fight scenes that were implemented, were perfected with such a sensitivity, which can hardly be represented by other films. All actors have shown themselves from their best side. Really good executed Robert Eggers!!!… Expand

I'm a fan of Eggers and this did not disappoint. Right up my Viking alley. I love the stripped down feel of the film, it sucks you in. I felt like I woke from a dream when it was over; totally transported to the 9th century.

"The Northman" takes all of the universal appeal around the revenge story, injects it with Eggers's penchant for brutality, his eye for stunning imagery (both beautiful and horrific) and his incredible ability to evoke whatever period he sees fit to depict. Wrapping it all up in the ever so faint trappings of an oh-so classic, Shakespearean tale, we're ultimately gifted with an unforgettably satisfying sort of "proto-Hamlet," featuring an unquestionably dedicated cast, some truly breathtaking set pieces and the thematic intangibles of a truly special cinematic experience altogether. I really, really had a great time with this and think it's easily Eggers's most enjoyable flick to date.… Expand

In the end, it clearly is a mythological tale of the most Shakespearian proportions, deeply emotional in numerous ways and filled with several breathtaking moment...

Deeply poetic and striking emotionally. There is violence indeed, but the movie rightfully is crude in its purest expression, which is justified because the world is cruel and so can be humans (especially during these ancient times), but what resonates the most in-depth is that the movie really has a lot of heart all along and until its very last frame.… Expand

He’s batted 3 for 3 with his films so far and I’m always incredibly excited to see what he does. This is definitely a masterpiece in my eyes. The story is simplistic yet effective because the character work is really good. We can get an understanding of everyone’s goals and why they do what they do. Alexander Skarsgård does an incredible job here. Same with the rest of the cast. I can’t point out one bad performance here. Everyone is on top of their game. Nicole Kidman and Anya Taylor-Joy give my favorite performances in film. Both of their characters are really cool and interesting but Kidman’s character has a really messed up and creepy twist that makes you feel differently about the film and it’s themes of revenge and family honor. Claes Bang does a fantastic job as the villain as well. The way Eggers directs and shots this film is incredible. Every shot looks absolutely stunning and it’s incredibly clear to me through the directing that it’s Eggers in that chair with his style of epicness to scenes. All the action in this is amazing. Eggers doesn’t cut around like most blockbusters do. He keeps the camera on the action at all times and makes sure that audience can clearly see what’s happening. There is a volcano battle at the end that’s absolutely amazing. The music here is great as well. Every aspect of this film is just incredible and shows it’s worthy of the title of masterpiece. This film lives up its title of a “Viking Epic” and it’s a must see for anyone who wants an action heavy epic.… Expand

If you've seen The VVitch or The Lighthouse, both done by Eggers, you almost know what you're in for. It's not quite the abstract movie Green Knight was, by far, but there are fantastic elements that make you wonder "is this really happening"?

All in all, I appreciate the movie for showing you EXACTLY what Viking culture was all about and it is GRITTY as heck. Some of the scenes had me in tears how awesome they were, like when a Valkyrie carries off a half dead warrior. Really well done tribute to the lore.

While some of that is inevitably part of the story, The Northman is a personal narrative, beautifully crafted and intertwined with the magical elements of the Norse religion. Finely acted and photographed. The one criticism I have is that, as with most Viking movies, there is a disproportionate emphasis on the spectacular, raw power of these warriors, and on seemingly unnecessary killings, and only little depiction of their actual culture. I mean, I can't imagine any people presumably living such gritty, subdued lives, while, in reality, these were fantastic boat builders, voyagers, and skilled craftsmen of buildings withstanding a harsh environment.… Expand

His commentaries on his films are always fascinating to listen to, delving into the pain-staking detail that is sometimes very obvious and sometimes completely missed by the audience.
