The Uprising
As war and plague devastate 14th-century England, a humble peasant ignites a rebellion, uniting an army of commoners to defy the King’s might in a desperate fight for justice and survival.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyAndrew Garfield gives his all as the Ploughman, and the acting is solid across the board, but the film itself is a tough sell. Paul Greengrass's signature style feels like a mismatch here, with the shaky-cam and chaotic pacing making a grim medieval story even harder to connect with. The plot of a peasant rebellion feels generic, and that lack of originality, combined with a downer ending, leaves more than a few viewers cold. It's a divisive watch where the performances can't quite lift the dreary, familiar material.
