“The Last Kingdom” is ready for its last run.
With the debut of the feature-length film “Seven Kings Must Die” on Netflix on April 14, the epic series is wrapping up, with the fifth and final season having aired on Netflix in March 2022.
The film serves as a fitting send off to the series, which is based on the Bernard Cornwell novel series “The Saxon Stories.” Like the books, the show follows the fictional character Uhtred (played by Alexander Dreymon), a Saxon who was captured and raised by Danish invaders in England in the ninth century A.D. Uhtred is raised to live the life of a viking, but destiny puts him in the employ of the House of Wessex and King Alfred, who seeks to unite the disparate kingdoms into one country called England.
With a basis in real history and top-notch stunts, acting and writing, the show has quietly...

The Last Kingdom has never been stronger. Spoilers ahead in our review of the painful but rousing The Last Kingdom season 3 finale.

The Last Kingdom Season 3 Episode 10
If that were the final ever hour of The Last Kingdom—and with the show on such excellent form, I dearly hope it won’t be—it would make a fitting finale. After painful tragedy and thrilling action, episode ten gave an answer to the drama’s central question. Is Uhtred Saxon or Dane? Thor’s hammer, or Bebbanburg amber?
Both, of course. “My name is Uhtred, son of Uhtred. My name is Uhtred Ragnarsson,” he concluded by the water’s edge, “Destiny is all.” Just as Hild had assured him in the previous episode that he was father, husband, warrior and more, Uhtred made...

The Last Kingdom Season 3 Episode 4
Ragnar Ragnarsson was right about one thing - that was the last extra-marital field he’d ever plough. Ragnar’s promise to Brida was made woefully true by the cowardly Aelswold and the manipulative Cnut, a typo in a ginger beard.
It wasn’t a glorious death. Like his father before him, Ragnar was betrayed by a snake in the grass. Two snakes - one desperate to survive, the other coldly planning to usurp his cousin’s leadership, and to take his woman.
They’ll be two headless snakes if Brida susses out that Ragnar’s latest bit of stuff wasn’t responsible for his squelchy demise. That woman...

After a time-jump, once again Uhtred has to decide where his loyalties lie in The Last Kingdom. Spoilers ahead…
This review contains spoilers.

Don’t you hate it when visitors turn up unannounced and expect you to feed their entourage of holy men? Especially when there are still twelve-odd centuries to wait before the invention of the twenty-four hour Asda.
That’s kings for you, I suppose. Alfred goes where he will, rocking up at his subjects’ strongholds to install himself at the head of their table and complain like a judgmental mother-in-law about how the décor is too Pagan and how he’s never once seen them use that breadmaker he got them for their wedding.
Uhtred and Gisela—three years into marriage and going strong—coped admirably with this week’s surprise visitors to their home.

Owen (Harry McEntire) and Kristen (Madeleine Clark) are twins living on a council estate caring for their disabled mother (Melanie Hill). When their already limited finances tumble further, Kristen arranges to meet loan shark Liam (Christian Cooke). Clearly smitten, Kristen makes it her intention to woo Liam, but it’s Owen who he has eyes for and, before he knows what he’s let himself in for, they embark upon a tumultuous, unorthodox love affair that sees them both making very personal and potent discoveries.
A psycho-sexual character study masquerading as an intimate, yet peculiar love story, Unconditional explores a teenagers sudden desire to break free from the restraints his home life imposes on him, despite the mysteriousness surrounding the outside world and devotion to both his sister Kristen and their dependent mother. It’s tender and innocent enough at first, but as it reaches the midway point it adopts more thriller-esque qualities,...

The critic and filmmaker Mark Cousins loves film, and like the best critics and historians his approach to the medium is pluralistic; he doesn’t talk about films in isolation, but connects them philosophically, politically and personally to everything else. If you think you’re a movie buff, you should definitely check out his 15-part “Story of Film” series, which may make you rethink that position. In the ’90s he frequently appeared on television, interviewing a dizzying line-up of filmmakers including Woody Allen, David Lynch and Roman Polanski.
Cousins, a fixture of the Festival, is here this year with his What Is This Film Called Love? After spending six years working on his epic series on the history of cinema, he flew to Mexico and decided, on a whim (the film is ‘an ad-lib’) to film himself for the three days he spends in Mexico City. While there, another thought...
