In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THE KING (2019), currently streaming on Netflix. Directed by David Michôd, with a script by David Michôd and Joel Edgerton; the story follows Hal (Timothée Chalamet) who begrudgingly accepts the throne after his father King Henry V (Ben Mendelsohn) dies. The young king is thrust into one of the most powerful positions of power at the time and must delicately maneuver the wars his father left behind, the politics of the palace and the possible treachery of all those that surround him while leading the country to victory and prosperity. The relationship between Hal and his most trusted confidante, Falstaff (Joel Edgerton) is lovely, nuanced and believably played by both actors. The film is rated R and clocks in at 2 h 20 m. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
