It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
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.
