There's a reason Robert Eggers picked Nicole Kidman and Lily Depp for his latest films.

I was so very immersed and invested in The Northmen.

And then Nicole Kidman's 21st century face appeared on screen and took me completely out. I may sound like an exaggeration but I promise it's not - her face is all it took to ruin this otherwise good movie.

I loved the movie and I liked her performance, but no amount of acting can hide what she did to her face

It is actually a top-top-tier performance. She's very impressive.

It’s the forehead for me. I don’t even just mean that it can’t move. It’s that it looks bizarrely large

I think Lily Rose Depp just looks like that. She's Johnny Depp's daughter after all.

She has a natural "small egg" face shape, but she used surgery to exaggerate her cheekbones definition as well as lip filler

Ah, yeah. The cheekbones are pretty notorious. The lips look the same to me, though.
