Firebrand

In the final months of King Henry VIII's reign, his sixth wife, Katherine Parr, faces the perilous challenges of the Tudor court. Portrayed by Alicia Vikander, Parr is a champion of progressive ideals, courageously advocating for change. Her beliefs, however, put her at odds with the ailing and increasingly paranoid monarch, played by Jude Law. When Henry appoints her as Regent in his absence, Parr's newfound authority unsettles the courtiers, who begin to plot against her and cast doubt on her loyalty to the King.
Firebrand is a captivating historical drama that shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked story of Katherine Parr. Vikander brings depth and intelligence to the role of the determined Queen, while Law's portrayal of the volatile Henry VIII is a standout performance. Directed by Karim Aïnouz, the film boasts stunning visuals, a sharp script, and a talented supporting cast, including Simon Russell Beale, Eddie Marsan, and Sam Riley. Firebrand weaves a gripping tale of ambition, survival, and the power struggles faced by a formidable woman in a world that undervalues her intellect.
“Jude Law immediately joins the upper ranks of the great screen Henry VIIIs with an incendiary, movie-defining performance.” - The Times
