‘The Death of Robin Hood’ Review: Hugh Jackman and Michael Sarnoski Make a Grizzled, Anguished Antihero of the Valiant Outlaw

The Death of Robin Hood, directed by Michael Sarnoski for A24, presents a dour, revisionist portrait of the folk hero. Starring Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, and Bill Skarsgard, the film avoids traditional tropes to depict the original vigilante as a mass murderer facing moral reckoning. This elegiac story focuses on myth-busting and anguish, featuring additional appearances by Noah Jupe and Murray Bartlett. The narrative ultimately delivers on its title through a smart, somber deconstruction of the antihero.
