Hugh Jackman Delivers a Brutal, Austere Robin Hood in a Grim Legend-Making Tale

Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood presents a stark, revisionist portrait of the outlaw, with Hugh Jackman delivering a chilling, performance-driven take as a brutal Robin whose legend is interrogated by a dour 13th-century setting and Jodie Comer’s Sister Brigid. The film treats redemption as a slow, myth-busting process rather than a clean transformation, and while it leans into Eggers-like fidelity and austere visuals, it doubles as a meditation on how legends are forged. Grade: B. The movie hits theaters on June 19 from A24.
