Luther Ratings & Reviews
- ZokkiieApril 3, 2026I haven’t seen it in at least 16 years, and coming back to it now, it really surprised me how well it holds up. It feels grounded and sincere in a way you don’t see that often anymore—no unnecessary spectacle, just a story told with confidence. What really stands out is Joseph Fiennes—he absolutely carries it. There’s a quiet intensity to his performance that never feels forced, and he brings a lot of depth without overdoing anything. You can tell he fully understood the role. It’s not perfect and slows down a bit in places, but the performances—especially his—make it easy to stay invested. Thoughtful, well made, and definitely worth revisiting.
