Movie Review 

"[It] goes so hard you’ll feel like you’ve died and gone to Valhalla (...) This is the kind of filmmaking that rips you out of your body so hard that you’re liable to forget what year it is."

"Eggers has vision to burn, but robs this brutal 10th-century revenge story of the tragic twist it needs to hook us emotionally."

"It’s exciting to see Eggers working on this scale and thriving. Eggers’ style and striking imagery work beautifully within a story this sweeping and grandiose"

Movie Review 

"The director conjures an immersive, pungently evocative atmosphere that catapults us back to the turn of the 10th century (...) The choreography of the combat scenes (...) is mind-blowing."

"This gory Viking tale works when considering its parts, but never really as a whole. The parts, however, are so thrilling, so uniquely calibrated to feverish, determined ends, that they elevate the entire film (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

"Without abandoning his arthouse credentials, Eggers has made a rousingly rough, extreme action saga that has the potential of attracting the kind of viewers who might have found his previous work impenetrable"
