Look: I'm a simple woman. I see a medieval epic with a slight horror twist, a talking fox, a big tree man, and that sweet A24 logo... You can count me the heck in! So you already know I have thought of nothing but The Green Knight since it hit theaters a couple of weeks ago.
And it turns out I'm not the only one who's been thoroughly entertained by Sir Gawain and his wild quest. The internet has really come through with some A+ reactions to this visual masterpiece so we took to the depths of Twitter and Tumblr to round up just a few of the best and compiled them into this easy-to-enjoy list for your viewing pleasure!
