“The Green Knight” (** out of four) was a lumbering medieval fantasy of the re-telling of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) showing his relationship with his lover Lady Essel (Alicia Vikander), his mother (Sarita Choudhury), his father (Joel Edgerton), and the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson) and how the fates of all are intertwined in adventure. Director David Lowery tells story with a grand paintbrush in a throwback to the medieval adventures of Hollywood’s Golden Age but results are hollow and muted as film meanders too slowly and too long. After a while- you will likely long for some swashbuckling and some action. Re-watch “The Dark Knight” again instead.
