I’ve seen two A24 movies in the last few weeks, and I know more are coming as the months roll by. The studio is really busy these days, churning out movies in a unique lane like Death of Robin Hood and the recent hit Backrooms. People can’t get enough. This doesn’t mean every upcoming A24 movie hits with general audiences, though. In fact, after seeing it, I know The Death of Robin Hood is going to be polarizing because of the responses I got from fellow St. Louisans at my recent screening. I also think it’s difficult to see Robin Hood as a villain rather than a hero, and the general tone of this movie is unsettling.
Still, I think the studio should have held it for awards season. Let’s talk it out.
