The northman

Just recently researched this and I can't say enough how much I love Robert Eggers' attention to historical accuracy, especially in the costume department, and language. While it's not 100% historical accuracy (the sword Draugr, and a few costume choices like Fjölnir's lamellar vest, and a few other areas), it's really close. It refreshing to get a story about vikings and old Norse peoples who actually LOOK like old Norse people would have during the time rather than the bdsm costumes if Vikings and Last kingdom (not knocking on those shows, btw ). It's also really cool to see a story that uses some old Norse language (with reconstructed pronunciation) and the proper futhark alphabet. I know costuming seems like a minor gripe. But I find that when you're making a historical film, the costumes are the one area where you can be extremely close to historically accurate without sacrificing storytelling. So to me it's a big deal.

Anyway, yeah, I'm a fricking nerd. Who cares. But what did everyone else think about these aspects. Any other historical nerds our there? And what other movies did you find that had pretty good historical accuracy?
