Oof. A sprawling, self-important, self-indulgent wank-off. Beautiful cinematography, but Jesus Christ, three hours plus with a mandatory intermission means you better deserve that time. It did not. Sadly exactly the kind of movie the industry tends to lavish with praise. It gave me the ick.
Just re-release it under the name Coliseum Sharks and call it a day.

This is one to see alone, in the darkest corner of the theatre. A humble and quietly perfect reflection on grief, love that comes too late, and love that comes just in time. Andrew Scott is beyond praise, as is the writing. I can’t even start my car up. I am just sitting here hooked up the universe.
You should see this one just to see Jenn Mattern as a 1990s tech savant turning dials on a cardboard box studded with vacuum accessories and soda caps
