Everything you expect from an Eggers film. Great visuals, great script, great sound design and amazing attention to detail.
I find where this and the Northman have fell down is the heighten drama strays into pantomime occasionally. It seems to be actor dependent with the worst offender here being Aaron Taylor Johnson. But, this maybe sacrilegious, Lilly Rose Depp in a few scenes was also off. Weirdly not in the actual over the top scenes but more in the quiet moments where she’s trying very hard to get over her emotions.
