24 Best A24 Movies

10. The Green Knight (2021)

Ex Machina

From the mind of David Lowery, based on a 14th-century Arthurian poem, The Green Knight is sure to go down as one of 2021's best films. A remarkable mixture of action, fantasy, horror and medieval legend, it's imaginative scope is nothing short of a masterclass.

Anchored by the grizzled, conflicted performance of Dev Patel, the movie balances its genres and themes of identity, mythology and heroism into one perfect burst of creativity. It's violent and sad, twisted and odd, but also utterly captivating.

The story of a knight called Gawain who goes on a transformative journey, The Green Knight is unlike any fantasy movie on offer, and is one of those rare gems that's great the first time you watch it, then somehow gets better every time you return.
