    ★★★★½

    There aren't really any other movies out there like this and this execution isn't how I would expect this story to be told but it works very well. Struggles with pacing, ordering of story beats, and the specific order in which key pieces of information are revealed could have been changed to yield a far more emotional story. But my main problem is with Sylvia. I don't mind her not getting a very satisfying conclusion as that ending wouldn't fit…

    Me not having super strong opinions on this movie with some really weird stuff in it is a testament to it's consistent tone and world building
