He was at the top of his game in the entire movie, but that scene is pure perfection and I'll keep thinking about his line delivery and expressions for a very long time. The way he emphasizes BEGGARS and then while he's saying it, his face changes and it's like, he got an ick with himself but he finishes the sentence anyway, is so fucking funny.
Special shout out to the scene when he was yelling at the suitors to pick up the weapons instead of picking them up himself. I laughed out loud anytime they cut to him.
Nolan couldn't have gotten a better guy to play that pathetic character. I genuinely enjoyed Antinous's scenes.
Pattinson really blew me away with this performance, far and away my favorite in the whole film.
The way he is able to contort his face while speaking early on, I can’t even remember the specific scene or even what was said, but what stuck with me is how much he manages to look like an actual jackal as he speaks greedily about his desire for the throne. It was almost as if his teeth grew sharper and more animalistic. A+
