Oops, typo thanks.

I thought the themes it presented were really interesting and were done in an intentionally ambiguous way of storytelling. I agree it wasn't plot or dialogue driven, but I don't think it was supposed to be by any stretch.

It's about Gawain being tested and failing the 5 chivalric virtues (friendship, generosity, chastity, courtesy, and piety), and what that would mean for his life in an attempt to become an honourable knight.

It was absolutely not a casual watch or popcorn flick, but I loved it. I don't think it would have worked if it spelled things out, because the narrative and overall presentation being open to interpretation supports Gawain's confusions and struggles along the way.
