    That’s about as bleak as it gets. Some serious images. Very slow and grueling, which is entirely the point here. Very engaging, nonetheless.

    Visually stunning! Some incredible cinematography! Poetic! Can’t say I’ve seen much like it! BUT like a poem, it felt very loose in its story telling and never felt grounded in a strong story arch. 

    Having read the book I can tell you there’s more to this story that brought me closer to our main characters, Elwood and Turner. Great film overall and I enjoyed so much about it but thought this would’ve hit harder.

    Shoutout to my homie Devin for catching a matinee @ BAM 💥 with me.

    EDIT: after watching a few analysis videos on YouTube because I can’t stop thinking about this one, I’ve bumped up my 4 1/2 to a 5! And further more it had made me think about what I truly love in a film. Thus, putting this MF in my CORE FOUR!! 💥 

    That truly was speciall! I was fully engrossed from the first frame! A cinematic experience that I was in awe of! Truly an incredible achievement! Wow! 🤩
