    Right from the start you can tell she is a special filmmaker. This is my personal first for Reichardt, and while I didn’t fall in love with this, I do appreciate it. There’s a special touch that you can see with her filmmaking. She’s very reserved which is extremely impressive. This does feel like a debut film which does hurt it, but overall it’s a great start to her filmography.

    I don’t do the best with coming of age, but this was solid. The mythical elements did make this unique, but it didn’t quite work with me.

    A good film that builds a decent world, I just never felt scared in the entirety of this film. I was expecting more tension and tense alien scenes, but left the theater only wanting more. Still a good film and spaeny really is a star, but this could have been something that rivaled the first film.

    One of the best writers of all time making one of the best films of all time. It hits all the right beats, making you feel for the characters. Making your characters feel real is a difficult task. Billy Wilder makes it seem easy. It’s as funny as it is dramatic, making for a fantastic film.
