    I really liked this. 
    It’s a pretty dense watch, like I think there’s a lot of directions you could take your interpretations which is fun. 
    Very stylized and stylish. 
    It has very melodramatic production choices that give it a cool feel. 
    There’s an impending doom the entire time. It sort of feels like something really bad is going to happen at any moment. 
    The kind of movie where every character seems like the bad guy. 
    Made me think of that…

    Tough movie to write a review for. 
    I loved it. 
    So emotional right from the jump. 
    Beautifully shot. 
    Best score I’ve heard in a long time. 
    Definitely one to see in the theater. 
    Every actor puts in an absolute shift. 
    It felt special to be watching a movie like that in the theater right when it came out. 
    Often dark and unpleasant but with real payoff. 
    I’d like to go to a dance party inside an Italian marble quarry.

    Good movie. 
    Definitely agree with comments about interstellar taking a lot from this, but this was far less annoying than interstellar to me. 
    Some pretty corny parts but that’s alright. 
    Jodie is undefeated. 
    Proves that smart people can be hot too. 
    McConaughey’s speech is the Larry King scene was pretty funny to hear from a pre-social media movie. 
    All-around cool subject matter.
