David Michôd's The King is about young Henry V who has to deal with deceit, war and treachery on becoming the new King of England in 15th century after the death of his father and brother. As a young man with peace as his soul aim, he is caught between the ideals of his advisors and his own. The film is a gripping drama about war and peace which questions the very existence of these two terms and how they are intertwined with each other. Appropriately casted as King Henry V, Timothėe Chalamet delivers a career high performance with brilliant dialogues and rousing speeches. Joel Edgerton's Falstaff acts the most loyal advisor-cum-friend of King Henry and delivers very powerful and motivational lines throughout the film, which just like King Henry also have a deep impact on the viewers.
