Kermode & Mayo’s Take · Is this the darkest ROBIN HOOD adaptation ever? + BILL PULLMAN · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

I think it speaks highly of the film that even though the accent clanged on my ears, and it really did.

It didn't put me off the film.

I kind of was you know that old thing about you you condemn was it you condemn your enemies for crossing their knife and fork, but you forgive your friends for eating with their hands.

Well, in terms of accents, this is a film that is eating with its hands, but I didn't mind because I thought there was enough that was going on that was intriguing and interesting that I kind of got over the accent problem, which sort of reminds me a little bit why the Rob the Russell

Crowe Robin Hood bothered me a lot more because I was much, much less invested in the story.

Um it does help that the cast includes Jody Coma and Noah Dupe and Murray Bartlett and more and and they're all terrific.

I should say just

he's sort of the moral heart of the film.

And also, as with all of these characters, he's not quite what he appears to be.

And it's to do with the stories that you are telling about who you are or who you might have been or who you may be in the future.

And he plays an absolutely integral role in the discussion of what storytelling is doing.

So it's a hard movie to warm to.

It's a hard movie to like.

But I think it's an easy movie to admire and I think it'd be a very hard film to forget.

Because I have to say that since I saw it, I have thought about it quite a lot.

So it's a troublesome experience and it's a you know, it's it's it's a it's a it's not an easy evening's entertainment, but I thought there was there was a lot of stuff in there that was that was very, very intriguing.

Well, can I just urge everybody to, if you're not already, subscribe to Take Two, because there is a really good film which I'm going to cover in Take Two called The Incomer, which I really, really liked.

But in this week of four releases which I've discussed, and all of which I've found very positive things to say about, I'm going to go for Supernature, the Super Eight documentary about our relationship with the natural world.

That's my film of the week.
