    ★★★★½

    New life mission: getting everyone I care about to watch this stupendously campy delight, preferably with me.

    ★★★½

    The kind of smart movie that makes you feel smart as a viewer for following along.

    ★★★★★

    If I could give this as many stars as it has twisters, I would give it 7 stars. For the price of your ticket you get: Establishing tragedy twister; Reintroducing-to-action twister; Twin Twisters; Shelter-in-place-and-fall-in-love Twister; Rom Com Twister; and big finale TWISTER.

    ★★★★

    There are so many fascinating ideas at play in this delightfully bittersweet movie that it feels wrong to pinpoint it as being about any one “thing”. I received it as a series of thoughtful experiments: What would it look like if we transposed a language and way of life across geographical space? What does such a transplantation reveal about things that are shared and things that are different? And what if the two cultures that lie at different ends of this transposition were both held within the same body?
