That ending chokes me up every time… it’s so incredibly sad, sweet, and hopeful, and such an impossible situation that he ends up in. But I love it, so much…

A movie that alienates the characters and plot from its viewers cannot stand; it’s a two-legged stool that demands a third. That, unfortunately, is what this movie is.
The concepts are very intriguing. The cinematography and choreography are outstanding. But ultimately, this movie feels stale.
On my first watch, I think I was so obsessed with the idea of this movie that I convinced myself it was actually great. But now, looking at it a second time, I’d say it’s…
This movie is chalk full of narrative exposition. The characters lay down the plan for about an hour. But the climax, falling action, and conclusion make up for the waiting.
Watching this movie is one of the most richly rewarding brain massages that you can put yourself under.
