John Stark

Starring: Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, and Joel Edgerton. Directed by David Lowry Where I Watched It: Apple VOD English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: An adaptation of the classic tale of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) and the Green Knight, directed by the guy who had Casey Affleck walk around in.a white sheet for an entire film. What Works: I know this film is divisive, and I only see a few reasons… maybe minor changes I’ll get to later… as to why this film isn’t in the Oscar conversation. But, real talk. Can we please start talking more about David … Continue reading The Green Knight
