A rare misstep from Eggers for me. There's certainly a lot to love here. It's a gorgeous movie to look at. The camera trickery employed largely works for me and in general I think it's shot really well. Some fantastic performances for the cast, at times approaching Shakespearian levels of theatrically.
Unfortunately, none of these points are quite enough to save this for me (even if I did thoroughly enjoy watching Taylor-Johnson and Dafoe ham it up).
Tonally and emotionally…
