THE NORTHMAN★★★★

SKY STORE PREMIERE, FROM MON 16 MAY

This epic Viking romp proved to be a bit challenging for cinema audiences, but now you can watch it from your own home and it’s well worth a rental. Alexander Skarsgård plays a young Viking prince on a mission to avenge his father’s death at the hands of the King (Ethan Hawke). With juicy roles for Nicole Kidman and Anya Taylor-joy, it’s a bold mix of Hamlet and Gladiator, from indie filmmaker Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse).
