Film Review: The Northman is full of blood and thunder

"Alexander Skarsgård is superbly cast as the avenging Amleth, a great, hulking savage — ‘a beast clad in man-flesh’ — who is never happier than when he is ankle-deep in his enemy’s intestines"
Film Review: The Northman is full of blood and thunder

Alexander Skarsgård stars as Amleth and Anya Taylor-Joy as Olga in director Robert Eggers’ Viking epic The Northman

★★★

The blood and thunder of Norse mythology is given its full due in Robert Eggers’ The Northman (16s), which stars Alexander Skarsgård.
