 Re: The King (2019)
I thought this was great. Just excellent performances all around, but it really is Chalamet and Pattinson that steal the show even though the latter isn't even in it all that much. Both of those guys have such big futures ahead of them though. From a technical and visual standpoint it's pretty damn impressive as well. I doubt it it gets any real Oscar recognition, but the performances here really deserve some awards attention IMO.

 Re: The King
Quite marvelous film, Chamelet is great and Pattinson steals the show as the French prince. I wasn't familiar with much of British history and Shakespeare plays, but this is just a very well written tale and engaging experience. The art direction is just great and the film left me wanting to see more of its medieval setting.

 Re: The King
Yeah this was a great movie. Wasn't impressed much with acting but Pattinson stands out. A well written and executed movie with great set pieces. The drama was more engaging than the battle scenes which is what was most surprising for me.
