I’m interested in that as well - do you mean that those familiar with the romance tend to like or dislike it? I’ve read (and also taught) this poem several times, and found myself enjoying (and pleasantly surprised by) the changes. I actually haven’t found anyone who has read the poem to discuss the film with yet - my company at present is mostly just my wife, and I spent the hour after we saw the film pedantically enumerating the differences. Have you found that those who knew the source material have tended to dislike this adaptation?Starting to feel like peoples' reaction to the Green Knight depends a lot on whether or not they were familiar with the source material.
