The Northman - Why It's The Best Movie of 2022 (So Far) | Film Analysis

I haven't seen most of the films I've wanted to so far this year due to managing work, school and family, but I have seen The Northman, and it's the best movie I've seen so far this year. The movie does most things masterfully and now that I've given it this title of best film, you're probably wondering why? I explain it all in the video!

****Disclaimer****
I became aware of the recent backlash this film has received after making the video. I personally, don't feel like it is warranted as I wont let hate filled individuals ruin a great film. With that being said I do go on a rant towards the end of the video and I wanted to provide this disclaimer because I do discuss societal issues that may be triggering or upsetting to some. Please check the timestamps and feel free to skip if necessary, I completely understand. My goal here is to entertain, educate and provide commentary, but never offend. Thanks!
