Featured review
Slay Queen, I mean literally, Slay
Honestly, I am a bit surprised with the low reception this movie has been getting because while I can understand some of the writing faults and direction choices being strange, I still thought it was an good ambitious tale of Katherine Parr with strong direction from Karim Aïnouz, gorgeous costumes, and strong performances from the entire cast.
Karim Aïnouz's direction remains powerful and vibrate and with this being his first English movie outside of Brazil, while some choices were odd, his direction remained well. The costumes, colorful presentation, musical soundtrack, designs, and the structures are all great. All of the performances are good as Alicia Vikander and Jude Law have great chemistry both volatile, smart, and love. The writing has some interesting concepts, themes, and atmospheres explored which I enjoyed, although some being predictable. The camerawork, unfortunately, is the worst aspect because the camerawork felt flat and usually Aïnouz approach on the camerawork is pretty good but here, it feels too flat which made certain moments feel lifeless.
Overall, it's not one of Karim Aïnouz best works but I thought it was ambitious and still engaging throughout.
