People Are Loving This Timothee Chalamet Historical Drama On Netflix

In the past few months, more and more fans The King have taken to social media to praise the film. One Twitter user was especially a fan of Robert Pattinson's portrayal of Louis, the Dauphin. "Timothee Chalamet as King Henry was a treat to watch," she wrote. "Such a wonderful actor. And it was more than a pleasant surprise to see Robert Pattinson as French Prince, The Dauphin. Well this made me more restless about his upcoming stint in TENET !!😩"

Another fan was also quick to point out the acting chops of Joel Edgerton, who played Sir John Falstaff, a popular Shakespearean character, in the film. "A few days ago I watched The King (2019) and can't stop thinking about it to this day," he said on Twitter. "Wonderful performances by Chalamet, Joel Edgerton, and the entire cast. Nicholas Britell's music gave this epic a new dimension. My favorite movie of 2019 no doubt."

So, if you're in the mood to see gut-wrenching combat scenes, the next Batman speaking with a French accent, or incredibly moody (albeit, beautiful) cinematography, The King should be your next movie night pick.
