It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
