Violent af, weird af, trippy af, epic af, intense af etc etc . The Northman was like a combination of Gladiator / Braveheart on shrooms. And I mean that in the most sincere way. It definitely won't be a lot of movie goers' cup of tea but I loved every second of it.
The director (Robert Eggers) is a flat out genius with the amount of detail he puts into his films (whether it be the art direction, costumes, authentic dialogue, long tracking shots that build tons of tension etc etc) Just an incredible young director and I can't wait to follow his career (he's not even 40 years old yet and has already directed 3 really good / weird as hell films in The VVitch, The Lighthouse and The Northman)

Nice...loved his other films. The end of Lighthouse was about the closest I've seen to Lynch...kind of Ingmar Bergman/Lynch hybrid..
Glad to hear its as good as I would expect....
