ALICIA VIKANDER as CATHERINE PARR

FIREBRAND (2023)

In many ways it’s a spiritual prequel to Elizabeth, the terrific 1998 bio-drama that thrust Cate Blanchett onto the map, even if there were two monarchs between Henry VIII and the Virgin Queen — portrayed here as a sharply observant young woman by bright newcomer Junia Rees, who gets a stunner of a final shot.

‘Firebrand’ Review: Alicia Vikander and Jude Law Rule in Karim Aïnouz’s Whip-Smart Historical Drama Bristling With Court Intrigue

girls it's BAAAAD out here. I just watched Firebrand (2023) and I'm in love. Please go out and watch it if you can. If it's available in theaters or streaming or anywhere please watch it. If you're into what I post you'll be into it. Jude Law slays as a Henry VIII that could honestly be Viserys I Targaryen and I wouldn't even mind. Alicia Vikander serves so much cunt.

If you're into Maegor's instability and trust issues as a result of his lack of heirs, watch Firebrand. If you're into Viserys and Alicent's relationship sparking distrust and political conflict, into a king slowly decaying as his grasp around his queen tightens and the queen exchanges her own safety for the chance to have power, watch Firebrand. If you're interested in Tudor era fashion, watch Firebrand. If you're interested in taking historical figures and playing with them through themes as your OCs, watch Firebrand. If you're interested in how tense and fraught the relationship between a king and his self-worth is, and how he must acquire self-worth through submission, watch Firebrand. If you're interested in seeing really silly beards, watch Firebrand. If you want Aegon IV to rail you, watch Firebrand. If you're interested in how Aegon IV might treat Naerys and Daeron, watch Firebrand. If you're interested in how fraught the way you see a king is with how you see a god, watch Firebrand.

It's also gorgeous. And you'll be supporting a Brazilian director who is amazing at his job. please please please stream Firebrand 2023.

God why is it so hard to find where to watch Firebrand?

TO KEEP MY SLENDERVERSE FOLLOWERS FED DURING MY AF BREAK!! AF ATTACK ON @therosebloom OF HER FIREBRAND DESIGN...

design does not belong to me! shoot her a follow

It’s a watchable piece of faux history, but the movie does not know what to do with its own heroine, content to leave her to the clutches of its villain: Henry.

yeah, i don’t think i’m going to be a fan of this one.

Hi,

I was looking forward to seeing the movie Firebrand here in the US but then found out the book that it is based on the Queen's Gambit by Elizabeth Freemantle portrays Elizabeth badly. Ugh I'm so sick of this. Can't authors try to give all their characters a fair portrayal? Is the movie worth watching or does it villainize Elizabeth?

The Movie only covers the year 1546. Elizabeth is the narrator but isn't villainised. The Movie is focused on Catherine's brush with death.

I did end up doing this little thing as well, since I thought he’d look neat and a friend requested him

we love to see it
