Harley Mumford (Fandamentals podcast) and Tom Davies (The Proper Mental Podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Harley’s choice The King.

The King (2019) is a historical drama based on William Shakespeare’s Henriad. Directed by David (War Machine) Michôd it’s star studded cast includes Timothée Chalamet as Henry V, Joel Edgerton as John Falstaff, Sean Harris as Chief Justice Sir William Gascoigne, Tom Glynn-Carney as Sir Harry "Hotspur" Percy, Lily-Rose Depp as Catherine, Thomasin McKenzie as Phillippa, Queen of Denmark, Robert Pattinson as Louis, Duke of Guyenne and Ben Mendelsohn as King Henry IV.

This adaptation of Shakespeare's Henriad focuses on the rise Henry V after his father’s death while he navigates the politics involved and discovers while the loyalties lie. The King is much more a character study that action film, there is action but it explores in the emotional side as well.

Recommendability for The King was mixed, its length and subject proved tricky to be universally recommended and it scores 2.85 overall.
