    ★★★

    when i say i'm not interested in consuming pandemic-inspired media i will NEVER mean Grand Theft Hamlet.

    I was so excited to watch this cus it is basically my interests in theatre, film, and video games combined but i don't know, I think I just wanted more from it. Starting with it being marketed as a documentary when it was just a bit hard to ignore how much it felt like a fictional film wanting to hit all the beats…

    visually this film was beautiful and I do find the themes that are discussed very interesting but I think the dialogue in regards to that could have done with a bit more subtlety at times. probably best described as 'all vibes very little plot' which does also fit the vibe but i don't really know if it resonated with me. would love to watch this again while knowing more what to expect because I wouldn't be surprised if that would cause me to like it more

    especially loved this film's sets and lighting! also this might just have been the last push I needed to finally read Dante's Inferno which is an accomplishment in itself I'd say
