What they share

Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Materialists, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Girl King is

The story follows Kristina of Sweden, crowned at six, whose radical modernization goals and fluid sexuality collide with entrenched conservatism. Amid power struggles and personal awakening, her reign unravels. Oddly, the film forgets to mention she abdicated to pursue philosophy.
