    ★★★½

    I get why it’s challenging to engage with. For me, it was a fully resized vision and the visual and audio textures are engrossing, and maybe the most faithful storytelling possible in this vein of adaptation.

    ★★★

    This movie is a sedated, dream-like experience. It doesn't quite deliver on the narrative expectations that it seems to be establishing, but there is certainly something about it that sticks with you. There are 2 or 3 startling scares, but it's more of a contemplation than a thriller.

    Like a mix between Arrival and The Tree of Life.

    Overall, it set me up to want something different and I walked out of the theater slightly disappointed, but there is a lot to explore about what it is on its own terms.

    ★★½

    A truly one of a kind film experience. Franco's performance startles you at first, but it's a testament to the character and the film that I settled into not only accepting it but relishing it. Overall, it walks the line between heartfelt and ridiculous and you certainly won't ever see anything like it.

    Just another Star Wars movie, and all the great things about that. Well-paced, even if a little long. Funny and charming and full of surprises.
