Damn, a friend of mine was just regaling me of how good this movie is and showed me this trailer.
And now I want to see it for myself!
And yes, it reminds me of A Song of Ice and Fire and makes me wish that we got an adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series (and not the "based off of" story or silliness that was Game of Thrones from season 2 onward and especially after season 4 was done and over with).
It kinda reminds me of the first Assassin's Creed video game (in contrast to the second Assassin's Creed II game which was much more flowery and funny and colorful). The first Assassin's Creed game was a lot more like A Song of Ice and Fire in how dark and philosophical it could be at times and, in general, just the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy; you kinda felt like you'd be suffocated within it.
I really should watch House of the Dragon but, again, it seems like the atmosphere and aesthetics are too much like Game of Thrones and not enough like A Song of Ice and Fire (or this movie called The Green Knight).
Also:
Recommend me some good or great movies from the last 10 years or so (and yes, I think "or so" is going to be used very casually here).
Another thing:
Read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; it's a great tale.
Lastly:
Maybe a TV show or two or three could be recommended to me (I've been bored lately).

There's a medieval history podcast called We're Not So Different that did a review of this a while back. I think one of the hosts is on Hexbear because I remember someone plugging it when they were first getting going.

Welp, time to support this podcast!
I was listening to a podcasts on Autistic culture and, while enjoyed it, I got bored of it after listening to over 30 episodes in a row and I have nothing to listen to except Blowback season 4.
They're both self described Marxists and have a series of episodes on historical materialism. The medieval historian Eleanor has also been a guest on CTH's Hell on Earth series.
CTH's Hell on Earth series?

And yes, that's pretty interesting. High praise indeed.
