GLADIATOR II

2024 | Dir Ridley Scott | 130m | UK | USA
Stars: Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal

If you loved Gladiator, you will also love this more powerful, bloody sequel. Although it is hard to compete with Russell Crowe’s original iconic performance, film critics have called Gladiator II the ‘best movie of the year’ and a ‘true epic’, praising Paul Mescal’s and Denzel Washington’s scene-stealing. This is another epic from Ridley Scott that may be in the running for a few Oscars at the next Academy Awards.
Connie Nielsen (Lucilla) gives a short introduction to the film

Once a promising baseball player, Troy (Washington) is haunted by resentment at the racist treatment that has left him earning a living as a garbage collector. Although he’s often charming, Troy’s tight grip over his family has deepening consequences.

While Washington is excellent in this adaptation of August Wilson’s play, Viola Davis’s stunning performance as wife Rose has earned the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award.
