The Uprising

2026 · Variety · Sep 2026

In "The Uprising," which doesn't quite come together but has its earnest compensations, a stoic Andrew Garfield is first seen in a field against a smudge of gray sky. "The Uprising" has more to offer audiences than "The Death of Robin Hood," but it's a well-acted blur of fits and starts — right up to an epilogue suggesting a possible franchise about an avenging-angel-farmer, blood-streaked sickle at the ready.
