    What a breath-taking and emotional journey. You feel every footstep each of the character's make, with every one of their actions bearing an overwhelming weight.

    The long one-shot takes are some of the best I've seen in movies. Deeply immersive cinematography. And the characters.. the characters just feel real and you cling to them. So glad to have experienced this

    The chemistry. The small glances. The witty responses. And the silences brimming with anticipation.... Never have I felt connected to 2 on-screen characters and their ensuing closeness so much before.

    Thank you Jesse and Celine for telling one of the most simple yet beautiful stories I've ever experienced.

    Wow, powerful and really immerses you how cutthroat this regime was.
    Congrats Fernanda Torres on the Oscar. (We'll see if this ages well..)

    Strangely introspective. Type of movie that has you appreciating life a bit more after you're done

    Side note: It's kinda weird seeing Succession actors outside of their Succession roles lol
