    A masterpiece! Visually stunning, with natural performances and so many beautifully framed scenes. Some images are burnt into my memory ... Cleo walking past the human cannonball, the fire, the distant jet reflected in the puddle of suds (the divide between the haves and the have-nots). The grand scale of the student protest sequence is reminiscent of classic Hollywood epics like Ben Hur. And I enjoyed the nod to Cuaron’s Gravity in the sequence with the old black and white space movie showing at Cleo’s local cinema. I would love to know what movie that is from. One of my all-time favourite films.
