Review of Barbarians

Barbarians (2021)
7/10
Put me out of my misery
10 April 2022
Not me as in me personally and while the score here might indicate something sinister, I would also hope no one in the audience. Yes this is more or less by the numbers, especially I reckon if you read what you are about to watch. Since I don't do that, I had one or two surprises along the way.

The thriller elements of the movie work. And if you have been a Game of Thrones fan, the casting will work too. It is quite something seeing someone being something entirely different in GoT and something else here. What does the Fox say? Well the Fox does not say much ... although I'm certain I missed the significance of it appearing and re-appearing. But it does give us something that will come at the end - or rather we'll circle back at the end.

There will be blood and there will be mayhem ... that is for certain. The question is why and how ... nothing ever goes according to plan. And there is almost no one here that is morally above the others ... well the girlfriend/artist somewhat is ... but does that save her or help her? You'll have to watch to find out.
