    ★★★★½

    [on 35mm film, with an introduction by cinematographer Frederick Elmes]

    I adored just about everything about this in an unexpected way, so unbelievably funny and romantic without feeling reliant on either as its crutch, it just tells a great story in a way only Lynch could.

    ★★★★★

    If Oppenheimer felt like what it must have been like to experience The Godfather when it first came out, DUNE PART TWO feels like what watching Return of the King for the first time must have been like. 

    It’s all of the things that make the first one a masterpiece (being perfect on a technical level/an incredible cast, I could go on) and just raises the bar. You expect all of that going in and it still manages to give…
