Viewing Notes
Prestige actors firing on all cylinders. Wanted to watch this after Stallone said this was his favorite film (he shows a clip of significance during the SLY documentary). The movie is about a king deciding which of his sons should succeed him while his wife thwarts his plans. Clearly a stage play fashioned into a movie.
Bonus Christmas movie since most of the drama takes place during the holiday. But there’s nothing really Christmas about it otherwise haha (second Xmas movie I’ve seen with Peter O’Toole this year).
