    Watch for the vibes and try not to think about the plot too much.

    ★★★★½

    So so sooooo good. Gimme more plz. More substantial changes from the source material this time around than in Part 1 and that slightly bums me out, but they’re clearly building to something and I have little reason to doubt Denis’ vision at this point.

    ★★★★

    A truly wonderful movie! The voice acting is top notch, the visuals are brilliant, and the score and action set pieces are invigorating. The unexpected cherry on top is the critique the film provides of imperialism/colonialism and the means by which we obtain “knowledge.” 

    But seriously, Netflix, do a better job with marketing!! I would have never seen this if it hadn’t been nominated for an Oscar.
