Fair enough. I’ve seen The Northman. It has some virtues but it’s a bit too surrealistic for my taste. (The director’s other films are The Witch and The Lighthouse, so viewers should know what to expect.) My biggest criticism of it is the gratuitous nudity. This is fairly sedate as such things go today, but there was absolutely no need for it. (There never is.) This cost $90 million and I expect that some of the suits thought that getting Anya Taylor Joy naked was an important business investment. I’m a bit surprised that ATJ went along, or for that matter, that Eggers, who worked with a much younger ATJ in The Witch, was willing to do it.

Any such list is a mixed bag. Out of 40, I figure I’m doing well if I find two or three to watch. Tastes vary. My purpose here is to encourage suggestions for other freepers to consider. Good movies are still being made. But so much content is being pumped out that finding the good stuff can be hard. The films I recommended may not be to your taste, but none of them are woke. If you’ve got more to suggest, I’m all ears.
