The atmosphere, acting, characterisation and most of all the ambience are GRIPPING in the first third or so, and paint a great picture of the terrifying isolation and emptiness of most of Australia.

"This is not Berk... we don't have dragons". bruh

For a movie supposedly all about the greatness of the music Leonard Bernstein made, it seemed like it went out of its way to actually show as little of it as possible, and seemed like it almost had a mission to make it not about the music. A big plot point is that he finishes his Mass and it's a huge innovative new work, and yet it's barely heard in the film. Another…
