The Daily Wire&#8217;s first-ever feature-length comedy “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>” is the number one most popular movie to stream in the country, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
The film, which can be streamed exclusively on DailyWire+, took the top spot on Rotten Tomatoes list of most popular streaming movies on Tuesday. The film has an audience score of 95%, with more than 2,500 reviews on the online aggregator of movie reviews.
&#8220;Lady Ballers&#8221; is directed by the company’s co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who also stars in the film alongside Daily Wire sports show “Crain &amp; Co.” hosts. The movie tells the story of one down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach, Rob, who will do anything to win — which in this case means teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.
It is followed on the streaming list by &#8220;May December,&#8221; which stars Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore and is available on Netflix.
Boreing says the &#8220;Lady Ballers&#8221; launch has been the most successful in the company&#8217;s history.

The Daily Wire&#8217;s newest feature film &#8220;Lady Ballers&#8221; was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dailywire-drops-trailer-for-the-most-triggering-comedy-of-the-year-mocking-men-in-womens-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">billed</a> ahead of its Friday release as the most triggering comedy of the year — and in just three days, it shot to the top of Rotten Tomatoes&#8217; <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/browse/movies_at_home/sort:popular" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most popular streamers</a> list.
The raucous comedy — which mercilessly mocks the growing number of biological men competing in women&#8217;s sporting events — earned a 96% audience score on the movie-rating site as well.
“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>” was ranked alongside a number of big budget films, some of which had been previously released in theaters. Among them were Christopher Nolan&#8217;s &#8220;Oppenheimer,&#8221; the new Eddie Murphy comedy &#8220;Candy Cane Lane,&#8221; &#8220;May December&#8221; starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, and last summer&#8217;s &#8220;Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.&#8221;

&#8220;The only thing happening in our culture more absurd and hilarious than men calling themselves women and then dominating women’s sports is that the ‘speak truth to power’ set on the left not only won’t make fun of it, they won’t even acknowledge it’s a joke,&#8221; Boreing said of the film. &#8220;This movie is for the women who have trained their entire lives only to be beaten at their sport by a man who couldn’t win at his, the majority of Americans who find the whole idea of men in women’s sports to be objectively wrong, and anyone who misses comedy – which the woke left destroyed on their ascent to cultural primacy.&#8221;

Not even 24 hours since DailyWire+ comedy &#8220;Lady Ballers&#8221; premiered online, the film has racked up more than 1,000 audience scores on popular review site Rotten Tomatoes, landing a staggeringly high 97% average rating.
The movie tells the story of a down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach named Rob, played by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who will do anything to win — in this case, teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.
&#8220;Not every day you see something original and fresh. Haven&#8217;t laughed this much in a long time. Highly recommended,&#8221; one of the reviews reads, with another reading, &#8220;Loved it! Funny and original; this movie does what others don&#8217;t have the balls to do!&#8221;
Notably, there are only six total of the 1,000+ audience reviews currently available to be viewed on the site. Three of the six visible reviews complain to some extent that the movie is &#8220;transphobic&#8221; and filled with &#8220;hatred.&#8221;
The Daily Wire has reached out to Rotten Tomatoes about the issue but has yet to receive a response.

Additionally, following the premiere, some social media users noted that they were unable to leave a review on the site.

One of the early one-star posts highlighted by Toto bluntly states that the &#8220;reviewer&#8221; did not see the film and doesn&#8217;t plan to. &#8220;I did not see it and I do not plan to. This movie is by its very nature transphobic,&#8221; the user complains.

Positive reviews exploded online Friday night following the premiere of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>,” a DailyWire+ original and the company’s first-ever feature-length comedy.
The movie tells the story of a down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach named Rob, played by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who will do anything to win — in this case, teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.

Under the hashtag #LadyBallers, thousands more viewers sounded off. And some people took to film review site Rotten Tomatoes to leave a positive rating, too.

‘A Fresh Return To Humor,’ ‘Loved Every Second’: Thousands Of Rave Reviews Roll In For ‘Lady Ballers’

Positive Online Reviews Roll In For ‘Lady Ballers’ 

The DailyWire+ true crime docuseries “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/convicting-a-murderer#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Convicting a Murderer</a>,” starring Candace Owens, hit the #1 spot on Rotten Tomatoes’ “Best Documentary TV Shows” list this week. 
“Convicting a Murderer” is now the <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/browse/tv_series_browse/genres:documentary~sort:popular" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most popular</a> documentary TV show, sitting ahead of FX’s “Welcome to Wrexham” and Apple TV’s “The Super Models.” The DailyWire+ series, which reveals what filmmakers left out of the popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer,” premiered on September 7 and released <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-5-manitowoc-s-involvement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode 5</a> of the 10-part series Thursday. 
The Netflix series “Making a Murderer” portrayed convicted criminal Steven Avery as an innocent victim of corrupt law enforcement in the murder of Teresa Halbach. “Making a Murderer” sparked a worldwide fascination in the case, attracting around 19 million viewers, but “Convicting a Murderer” pulls back the curtain on what viewers missed in “Making a Murderer.” 
“Convicting a Murderer” currently holds a <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/convicting_a_murderer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">71% audience score</a> on Rotten Tomatoes even after Avery <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-steven-avery-directing-supporters-to-tank-candace-owens-convicting-a-murderer-review-score" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> to be directing his supporters to tank the audience review score of Owens’ docuseries. 
“IMPORTANT: Steven is asking for all his supporters to flood Rotten Tomatoes and give ‘Convicting a Murderer’ a bad review,” reads a post on the 36,000-member Facebook group called “Steven Avery is INNOCENT.” 
“This garbage and vitriol is NOT TRUE and we need our community to step up and let … Owens know that STEVEN AVERY IS INNOCENT!” the post added. 
Before the post, “Convicting a Murderer” was boasting an average review score in the 90s, but is now seeing a drop in that score, down to 71%. Notably, it was just hours after this Facebook post was issued that “CAM” was flooded with bad reviews.
Despite the efforts of Avery’s supporters to tank the audience score, it’s clear audiences love the series. 
“Blown away by [Candace Owens’] new docuseries ‘Convicting a Murderer’ on [The Daily Wire]. Congrats, Candace!” <a href="https://twitter.com/adamcarolla/status/1701709667347706365?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> comedian and radio personality Adam Carolla. 
“Episode 5 of ‘Convicting a Murderer’ has been released today and all I can say is WOW,” X user Tuesday Gazette <a href="https://twitter.com/TuesdayGazette/status/1704909034850226476?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “The misleading narrative from the original #stevenavery doc is extremely disappointing.”
“[Candace Owens], Thank you for doing #ConvictingAMurderer &#8211; Someone has to tell Teresa Halbach&#8217;s story!” <a href="https://twitter.com/JimClemente/status/1700314024578269464?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> former New York State Prosecutor and FBI profiler Jim Clemente. 
The 10-episode series contains exclusive interviews with subjects not included in the Netflix show, including law enforcement officers, family members, and fans-turned-investigators whose lives have been profoundly impacted by the case.
The latest episode in the series, titled “Manitowoc’s Involvement,” dives into Steven Avery’s $36 million lawsuit against Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, for his wrongful conviction in 1985.

A new report reveals that Rotten Tomatoes — the movie site used by millions of people to decide if a movie is worth seeing — was allegedly manipulated by a public relations company to boost a movie’s critical reception.
A PR firm called Bunker 15 was engaged to help the 2018 movie “Ophelia,” starring Daisy Ridley. The initial rating for the film on Rotten Tomatoes came in at a poor 46%, but according to <a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/rotten-tomatoes-movie-rating.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vulture</a>, Bunker 15 paid some of the more obscure critics on the Rotten Tomatoes website to post positive reviews for $50 or more per review. An employee of Bunker 15 allegedly emailed a prospective reviewer, “It’s a Sundance film and the feeling is that it’s been treated a bit harshly by some critics (I’m sure sky-high expectations were the culprit) so the teams involved feel like it would benefit from more input from different critics.”
When the reviewer asked what Bunker 15 would do if he hated the film, the Bunker 15 employee replied that critics could write whatever they pleased but “super nice ones (and there are more critics like this than I expected)” would agree to publish bad reviews on “a smaller blog that RT never sees. I think it’s a very cool thing to do.”
“Between October 2018 and January 2019, Rotten Tomatoes added eight reviews to Ophelia’s score. Seven were favorable, and most came from critics who have reviewed at least one other Bunker 15 movie,” Vulture reported.
“Ophelia” subsequently climbed up to a 62% rating; the next month IFC Films acquired the film for distribution.
Bunker 15 founder Daniel Harlow responded to Vulture, “Wow, you are really reaching there. &#8230; We have thousands of writers in our distribution list. A small handful have set up a specific system where filmmakers can sponsor or pay to have them review a film.”
One problem with Rotten Tomatoes scores: they are posted after only a few reviews are in. Thus a film company can prescreen a movie for selected critics, then delay setting the movie’s review embargo so those positive reviews can tilt the Rotten Tomatoes score as high as possible before the bulk of critics can weigh in on the film.
Vulture cited “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” which started on Rotten Tomatoes at 79% and had the best opening of any Ant-Man movie before other reviews dropped it down to the 40-50% range, The second weekend, the film’s grosses plunged 69%.
Filmmaker Paul Schrader, who once was a critic, offered, “The studios didn’t invent Rotten Tomatoes, and most of them don’t like it. But the system is broken. Audiences are dumber. Normal people don’t go through reviews like they used to. Rotten Tomatoes is something the studios can game. So they do.”

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh’s hit documentary “What is a Woman?” hit the No. 1 spot on Rotten Tomatoes for streaming movies on Sunday — a year after it was released. 
Under the June 2023 “Best Documentary Movies at Home” <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/browse/movies_at_home/genres:documentary~sort:popular" target="_blank" rel="noopener">category</a> on the movie review site, “What is a Woman?” beats out other more recently released documentaries as well as popular movies such as &#8220;Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse&#8221; and &#8220;The Super Mario Bros. Movie.&#8221;
“Congrats to [Matt Walsh] for your well -deserved receipt of this year&#8217;s Streisand Effect Grand Prize,” DailyWire+ host Dr. Jordan B. Peterson tweeted to Walsh. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The news comes as the documentary has had a milestone week, with The Daily Wire posting it to Twitter for free and the tweet garnering more than 160 million views. 
The Daily Wire initially planned to stream “What is a Woman?” on the platform for 24 hours. But Twitter labeled the documentary “hateful conduct” and restricted its visibility because of two instances of supposed “misgendering.” A few hours before its release, Twitter CEO Elon Musk insisted it had been a mistake, yet the film was saddled with restrictions when it aired. Early Friday, Twitter’s tag restricting the visibility of “What is a Woman?” was removed, allowing Twitter users to like and retweet the documentary. Musk tweeted out the film to his 140 million followers.
On Saturday, Walsh called out the media bias surrounding his documentary with a screenshot of the audience and critic review scores of the film, noting that not a single legacy media publication reviewed “What is a Woman?” — despite the documentary racking up tremendous viewership.
“The film has been seen by millions of people but still only six movie critics have dared to review it,” Walsh posted. “And none of them are from major mainstream publications.”
The tweet shows a screenshot of the film’s Rotten Tomato scores. With the general audience, more than 10,000 reviews landed the film at 86%. But there are only six reviews from critics, totaling a score of 83%.

Despite the high viewership of the film and it reaching the top spot among streaming movies on Rotten Tomatoes, none of the leading critics have reviewed it, including reviewers from The Atlantic, The Boston Globe, NPR, BuzzFeed News, Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, and many more. Notably, many of those same outlets have covered the buzz and related news surrounding “What is a Woman?”

What Is A Woman

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tom-cruise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Cruise</a> and all those connected with the monster hit &#8220;Top Gun: Maverick&#8221; have more reason to celebrate after being named the Best Film of 2022 by the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes.
The highly anticipated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/top-gun" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sequel</a> to the 1986 movie &#8220;Top Gun&#8221; grossed more domestically than any other movie in 2022 and was genuinely loved by critics and audience members alike, <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/02/top-gun-maverick-rotten-tomatoes-best-film-2022-1235253650/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deadline</a> reported.
The movie scored a 96% certified fresh grade from critics out of nearly 500 reviews — and even more impressive was the 99% fresh score the &#8220;Top Gun&#8221; sequel got from those who went to see the movie. Other movies in the top three include “The Banshees of Inisherin&#8221; with a 97% certified fresh score, and the sci-fi adventure &#8220;Everything Everywhere All at Once&#8221; with 95%.

The film directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Cruise scored a rare A+ CinemaScore, too. It was not only a hit with theater-goers domestically, but ended up being the second highest grossing movie worldwide based on pure calendar days of 2022.
&#8220;Top Gun: Maverick&#8221; has also been nominated for a total of six Oscars, including Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay (from Ehren Kruger, Christopher McQuarrie, Eric Warren Singer, Peter Craig, and Justin Marks), along with a nomination for Lady Gaga and BloodPop&#8217;s original song &#8220;Hold My Hand,&#8221; the outlet noted.

The film&#8217;s global success has made it the &#8220;Mission: Impossible&#8221; star&#8217;s first film to ever reach such a milestone. The success of the movie did not escape Cruise, who previously took to social media to thank fans for turning up in droves.

“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television">The Witcher: Blood Origi</a><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television">n</a>,” a follow-up to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/netflix">Netflix</a> series “The Witcher,” is making headlines for having a shockingly low audience score on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_witcher_blood_origin/s01/reviews">Rotten Tomatoes</a>. 
The new fantasy series was released on Christmas day and since then has earned a 33% <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rotten-tomatoes">critic rating</a> and 10% audience rating on the site. Fans are not impressed with the prequel, which is set more than a thousand years before the events of &#8220;The Witcher.&#8221;
“Blood Origin” follows seven outcasts in an Elven world who “join forces in a quest against an all-powerful empire.” It’s currently the most-watched show on Netflix, but not the most loved by a longshot.
“&#8217;Blood Origin&#8217; is to The Witcher television show as a slapdash downloadable expansion pack would be to the massively popular Witcher video games,” the Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/tv-reviews/the-witcher-prequel-blood-origin-review-1235467410/">review</a> says. “Only completists need apply.”
Many reviewers mentioned how “The Witcher” star Henry Cavill isn’t in the newest iteration, which just serves as another reason not to see it. 
“Without the anchor that keeps the franchise grounded, it really is just a fantasy story without any of the things that make ‘The Witcher’ special,” the AV Club review <a href="https://www.avclub.com/the-witcher-blood-origin-review-netflix-tv-1849895107">states</a>.
Fans of the original version of “The Witcher” were just as unimpressed as the critics. 
“I can&#8217;t think of anything that could be worsened in this show. It is badly written, the plot is full of holes, the visuals are awful, even the performance of Michelle Yeoh is not up to her standard,” one person <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_witcher_blood_origin/s01/reviews?type=user">wrote</a>.
“Those who made this mess should hide in the depths of the earth and never see the light of the sun again&#8230; Only by disappearing would they obtain peace in the face of this attack against everything that is good in this world,” another person agreed.
Most of the thousands of negative reviews were equally brutal. 
“I think that wiping your eyes with freshly cut lemon can bring you to deeper emotional state than this piece of .. show,” another fan wrote. “The writers of Witcher, Rings of power and She-hulk are really showing the world that no matter how untalented you are, you can still pretend to be a writer.”
While some fans blame the historically bad Rotten Tomatoes scores on review bombing, the practice of people writing multiple negative reviews to intentionally bring the score down, this is unlikely the problem with “Blood Origin.” A Forbes reviewer <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2022/12/27/the-witcher-blood-origin-has-netflixs-worst-audience-scores-of-all-time/?sh=424f227c127a">noted</a> how other popular titles which were supposedly review-bombed didn’t have audience scores as bad as 10%.

“Hard f***ing pass. I won’t give that transphobic bigot a platform on my site,” said another. “Never email me again!”
“Absolutely f***ing not. He’s a bigot and you should be ashamed to be associated with him,” echoed a third. “Have a great weekend!”
“Yeah, I’m not reviewing a film by a bigot,” another person replied.
One of the two critic reviews of “What Is a Woman?” that’s been published so far was written by Daily Wire contributor Christian Toto. He gave the documentary a 3 out of 4, noting, “Some won’t accept the documentary’s premise at face value. Others will rage at Walsh’s staid demeanor, knowing the true feelings lurking beneath his mild-mannered style.”
Toto continued, saying, “What we should all agree on is simple. It can’t be off bounds to dig deeper into the trans conversation. Our children are in play, for starters. The film aggressively pursues this angle, and we see specialists giddy at helping young children begin their ‘transition.’”
The documentary attempts to expose the dark reality of radical gender ideology, including the history of where it came from, and the proponents who prey upon young, confused children. “What Is a Woman?” currently has a 97% fresh viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the reviews are not hidden – for now.

Many mainstream reviewers refuse to review Matt Walsh’s documentary “<a href="http://WhatisaWoman.com">What Is a Woman?</a>”
However, their shunning hasn’t stopped audiences from giving the film a whopping 97% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes with more than 2,500 reviews, and making it the number one <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/browse/movies_at_home/sort:popular?page=1">most-watched movie</a> at home on the platform. “<a href="http://WhatisaWoman.com">What Is a Woman?</a>” is a force that cannot be stopped.
“Finally, someone questioning the madness that we&#8217;ve all see[n] unfolding before our eyes over the last 10 years. Walsh asks one simple question and it brings gender ideology down like a house of cards,” one reviewer wrote.
“This is one of the best documentaries to come out in years; I say this as a former liberal,” another said. “The Emperor has no clothes and this documentary exposes that the current obsession with gender is based on lies and half-truths.”
“A really deep and thoughtful approach to the ever complicating topic of gender identity in today&#8217;s society, with sprinkles and dashes of humor throughout. It is a must watch for Left leaning individuals who apparently cant seem to take their blinds off from their eyes,” said a third reviewer.
Mainstream reviewers aren’t just taking issue with the content of Walsh’s project, but are rather refusing to engage with or attempt to debunk his claims at all. They replied to email queries with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-reviewing-a-film-by-a-bigot-film-critics-wont-even-watch-matt-walshs-what-is-a-woman">profanity and revulsion</a>, calling the content “transphobic” before even seeing it.
“Unsubscribe. Lose my email. Forget my name,” one reviewer wrote.
“Hard f***ing pass. I won’t give that transphobic bigot a platform on my site,” another said. “Never email me again!”
“Absolutely f***ing not. He’s a bigot and you should be ashamed to be associated with him,” another said. “Have a great weekend!”
“Yeah, I’m not reviewing a film by a bigot,” a fourth chimed in.
As of this publishing, the only official critic review of “<a href="http://WhatisaWoman.com">What Is a Woman?</a>” comes from Daily Wire contributor Christian Toto. He gave the documentary a 3 out of 4.
“Some won’t accept the documentary’s premise at face value. Others will rage at Walsh’s staid demeanor, knowing the true feelings lurking beneath his mild-mannered style,” Toto <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/what-is-a-woman-review-matt-walsh/">wrote</a>.
“What we should all agree on is simple. It can’t be off bounds to dig deeper into the trans conversation. Our children are in play, for starters. The film aggressively pursues this angle, and we see specialists giddy at helping young children begin their ‘transition.’”
And while no mainstream reviewers chimed in, at least one feminist writer who disagrees with Walsh on most other topics admitted that he made some excellent points during “<a href="http://WhatisaWoman.com">What Is a Woman?</a>”
Candace Mercer describes herself as a “progressive activist who has supported LGBT causes, rights and liberation my entire life.” She had entirely positive things to say about the documentary.
“As Walsh confronts the inconsistencies and circular logic of their arguments with relentless application of reason, you can see the expert’s frustration grow and they often become openly angry with his questions,” she writes in her <a href="https://candacemercer.substack.com/p/what-is-a-woman-review-of-a-cultural?sd=fs&amp;s=r">review</a> on Substack. “As the priestly class, they are not used to being contradicted or challenged in a principled manner, it is telling how many want to end their interviews. Walsh is embarrassing them.”
“Walsh may not identify as a feminist, but his film is absolutely a feminist defense of women and children,” Mercer continued. “He is an unlikely hero to take the reins of this movement.”

IMDb <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11138512/">describes</a> the new Viking action drama “The Northman” as “an action-filled epic that follows a young Viking prince on his quest to avenge his father&#8217;s murder.” Meanwhile, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10743827/White-supremacists-claim-ownership-Hollywood-blockbuster-Northman.html">wrote</a> that “white supremacists have claimed ownership” of the new film, which stars Alexander Skarsgård and Nicole Kidman in an “all white cast” which reinforced “pure macho stereotypes.”
The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/apr/22/norse-code-white-supremacists-reading-the-northman-robert-eggers">notes</a> how director Robert Eggers already addressed the connection between Viking culture and white supremacy. His aim was to “reclaim Viking history from rightwing groups.”
“The macho stereotype of that history, along with, you know, the rightwing misappropriation of Viking culture, made me sort of allergic to it, and I just never wanted to go there,” Eggers <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/apr/10/the-northman-director-robert-eggers-interview">told</a> The Observer while discussing how he almost didn’t make the movie because of this. Most reviews praise the director’s skill specifically while reviewing the film.
The article goes on to describe Skarsgård in “The Northman” as “bare-chested, pumped-up with battle rage, wearing a wolf’s pelt as headgear,” and then draws a connection between him and the infamous QAnon Shaman, Jake Angeli, from the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021.
Following opening weekend, the film has a 89% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 67% audience score. Most outlets gave the movie positive reviews, with the Chicago Sun-Times calling it a “bloody and bone-cracking and yet beautiful Viking saga” that’s full of stunning visuals.

Reviewer Richard Roeper <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/movies-and-tv/2022/4/20/23030367/northman-review-viking-movie-alexander-skarsgard-nicole-kidman-anya-taylor-joy">wrote</a>, “‘The Northman’ is often insanely over the top and there are moments when it feels as if Eggers could maybe ease his foot off the pyrotechnic pedals, but still, this is one of the most strikingly original and brutally effective movies of the year so far.”
The movie tells the story of Prince Amleth (Skarsgård) who watches his uncle Fjölnir (Claes Bang) kill his father the king (Ethan Hawke). The child-aged prince flees to save his own life and adopts a refrain and a mission, dedicating his life to freeing his mother (Nicole Kidman) and avenging his slain father.
“I will avenge you, Father. I will save you, Mother. I will kill you, Fjölnir,” Skarsgård repeats in a chilling mantra. The film is being described as a retelling of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
While speaking with Time, Skarsgård <a href="https://time.com/6169996/alexander-skarsgard-the-northman-interview/">discussed</a> how “The Northman” isn’t just about action and history, but it’s also a tribute to the characters.
“The goal was to try and give an accurate depiction [of the Viking Age] and go a bit deeper into the mythology,” the actor said. “We wanted to stay away from clichés when it comes to the Vikings and actually get to know the real characters behind those clichés.”
“The Northman” is currently playing in theaters.
