Across a thousand years, the legend of Sir Gawain has endured because it asks what honour costs a person who has not yet earned it. Director David Lowery's adaptation of The Green Knight, starring Dev Patel, arrives in 2021 as a haunting, visually ravishing reimagining of that question — placing a flawed, unready young man on a road toward reckoning and asking whether the journey itself might be the only honest answer. It is less a film about Arthurian myth than about the universal ache of becoming someone worth the story told about you.
