Middle Ages, Scotland/England, Biopic, Robert the Bruce

I am so thankful that there are filmmakers out there that love the Middle Ages and want to share stories about important events and people of that time period. I know so little about Robert the Bruce, Richard I, and the conflicts of the early fourteenth century. Outlaw King is not only fairly true to history (at least from what I've read) but it is also an engaging romantic story. Mackenzie captures the passionate loyalty of the Scots and the rage and pride of Prince Edward. It really feels like we have gone back in time. It is very bloody and tragic, but a gripping tale.
