    ★★½

    Entertaining, but ultimately unsatisfying. The satire is laid on so thick it obfuscates the themes. I’m not sure if I didn’t get it, or if there was nothing else to get.

    Very stylish. Cool cloths, a beautiful locale and great music. A fun third act with an interesting twist. I think this movie is trying to investigate things like the power of celebrity and the value of creativity, commentary and criticism. But I don’t think the plot or characters are developed enough to create a frame of reference with which you could investigate those ideas.

    ★★★★

    Was locked in all the way through, not just because of the subtitles. Tension at an all time high.

    ★★★★

    A beautiful, punishing, and ambitious movie investigating big themes. 

    Will your art save you? Is it the journey or the destination? I thought I knew. Now, I’m not so sure.
