This was at Cannes and earned a very limited US theatrical run this week. Only one showing a day in the Cruz, and I doubt it’ll last into next week.
It's a beautiful film - gorgeous locations and costumes - but not a lot of action. Mostly political intrigue. The few sword fights are unremarkable but it makes some engaging commentary about religion and budo. I guessed who the traitor was using the least-likely paradigm. Not enough sword fights.
It'll play fine on a streaming platform.
