    ★★½

    I love a bit of bergman dialogue but Jesus this was too much and mix that in with two boring main characters and you get a very exhausting viewing experience

    Quite disappointed. I think there is so much potential to this really interesting concept that is never capitalised on aside from a few beautiful moments like the scene in the car dealership, when the angels are talking about their desire to feel what people feel, I just wish there was more stuff like that instead of a lot of scenes that felt like they dragged on without anything worthwhile to say. 
    And I have to add that the movie looks absolutely gorgeous

    First hour is definitely my favourite section, it’s like a thrilling heist film seeing the family execute their masterful plan moving at such a fast pace, loved it.
    Rest is still great with some moments of unreal tension.
    That shot of just the man’s eyes when he’s on the stairs is easily one of the most terrifying shots of all time, fuck that

    Final act is godly and no matter how many times I watch this film it will always have the same effect on me.
    Fincher’s best.
    I need to rewatch Social Network and Fight Club but doubt it will top this
