    In this gimmick-less flick, Soderbergh treats us like adults, which feels all too rare. 

    David Holmes at the musical helm reminds us what a good team they make. I had a feeling it was him.

    The steady pace is sustained to the final shot. Best movie I’ve seen this year yet.

    Some cool world-building (with clear thumb prints from previous films) and originality. Unfortunately, act 3 seemed a bit disconnected from the rest of the movie for me. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe the language translator felt unearned. Maybe the 17 vs 18 conflict seemed like it had more story to tell. Maybe I thought we’d get more callback to the Macaroon Era. Idk.
