Went to see #TheNorthman recently, and it has taken me a while to decide what I think of it. I think it was fantastic aesthetically. Its costume design, set building, and the languages were all amazing. But I left the cinema a little unsure of it as a whole. 1/6 A lot of the takes I've seen from Viking Age specialists have been kind of downbeat. I had some issues with the depiction of slavery and the film definitely took licence with the portrayal of religion and magic. However, the filmmakers are entitled to do this. 2/6
