    ★★★

    1) Stressful 2) Visually impressive. 3) Painful acting, dialogue, and character development… Probably shoulda seen it in IMAX 3D a decade ago to be fair. But- guess I spaced 🥴

    I’m probably in the minority on this one so come at me, but this was way below expectations. Enjoyed the color-grading and production design but other than that: thought the acting was fairly weak, the flow to be scattered and confusing, the POV cinematography was not my favorite, and the pacing made my skin crawl. Blame ADHD but the ultra slow, one-sided monologue style chunks of episodic dialogue had me squirming. Found myself thinking about how they filmed certain shots but never slipping into the narrative. Who knows- could be a drastically different experience if I read the book but alas.. I did not. 🤷🏻‍♂️
