   Jun 14, 2024 · Alicia Vikander stars as Katherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII, in this historical drama that reimagines her as a radical thinker. The film is too often muted and slow, but Jude Law shines as the capricious king and the final scenes are satisfying.

   Is Firebrand a good movie?

   • “Firebrand” eventually becomes a waiting game, as Katherine tries to keep her schemes hidden long enough for Henry to die. Once the king can no longer rage by flickering firelight, the revisionist history is significant. And while the film’s final moments may feel satisfying on a primal level, they feel unearned from a narrative one.

   Is Firebrand based on a true story?

   • Adapted from Elizabeth Fremantle’s 2012 novel, “Queen’s Gambit,” “Firebrand” seeks to highlight Henry’s sixth and last wife, Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), the only queen to outlive the infamous king. Studious and devout, Parr conceals her Protestant sympathies while arguing in favor of women’s education and an English-language Bible.

   Does Firebrand reframe Catherine?

   • They weren’t wrong, and “Firebrand” is clever to reframe Catherine as an important figure in England’s change. It just goes too far. Vikander brings intelligence and poise to the role, but she looks out of place in Aïnouz’s grungy view of Tudor England — as do nearly all stars when they essay these royal roles.
