Shakespeare, Middle Ages, Henry V, Biopic

This film floored me. Truly gorgeous lighting and scene, haunting and engaging acting, and a beautiful adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V. The lines are delivered perfectly and TimothĂ©e Chalamet is an amazing actor. I hope to see more of him in future, especially in roles like this one. The King was a refreshing film about a time period I am fascinated by and one that I don't see many films visit. It felt fairly true to both history and Shakespeare's story. Loved it and will definitely watch it again.
