Review from the comment
If you love visual stimulation and don't require a cohesive story arc, then you could possibly love the Green Knight. If long real time shots irritate you and you don't enjoy jumping on Reddit to understand wtf just happened in a film, you could possibly hate David Lowery's latest yarn. I'm somewhat in the middle, definitely dazzled by his gorgeous bleak landscapes but also frustrated at the depth of ambiguity so prevalent throughout Green Knight's two hours and ten minutes. Maybe a rewatch will help flesh things out but I don't know if I ever will take the time to do so.
