I appreciate whenever anyone can get a movie that weird into theaters. But too many moments and/or lines of dialogue felt either obviously circular or needlessly opaque. I realize it's a movie set in medieval times, but I kept waiting for people to have a human conversation. There were too few of them, imo.

Lowery's a beast, and I'll still gladly see what he does next-- A Ghost Story was real fucking weird, but it still successfully connected emotionally for me. This one didn't. A miss in my book, but far from a condemnation.
