The Casablanca of modern spy movies. 

You’d think spies capable of making exact replica masks would’ve evolved past relying on Usenet for espionage. Somehow the whole movie is still so much fun

A very heavy movie. The POV shooting was far from a gimmick. Really makes it feel like a movie about personal remembrance and making sure the horrors of the past don’t remain hidden

Gonna follow Zoe Saldaña's life plan when I too wash out as a public defender.

I think I know understand how people who don't like musicals feel when they watch a musical. At least the vaginoplasty song was fun

May December April

Was assuming the affair would be the driving force of the movie, so pleasantly surprised at the repressed lesbian angle instead. Judi Dench is just so throughly unhinged throughout the whole movie that you almost forget that Blanchett's character is also a terrible person. Blanchett's nails the flirty, flighty person that everyone loves, and Dench really sells the person who believes they're above everyone and never wrong despite their obvious lack of emotional awareness. The score and directing also both up the tension in a way that really makes it a thriller.
