King Knight (2021) ***

King Knight (2021) is a cute, funny, and entertaining little low budget indie. It lacks the bite of Richard Bates Jr.'s more visceral efforts like Excision (2012) (my review here), Trash Fire (2016) (my review here), and Tone-Deaf (2019) (my review here)—its closest equivalent being his 2014 film Suburban Gothic (my review here). But it contains plenty of the director's trademarks, features a great cast, and has its heart in the right place. A breezy good time.
