    Plot-wise, just as depressing as you’d expect from Lars Von Trier however something about the very rough camera work and the weird over the top musical numbers really broke the sadness up.

    ★★★★

    Really lulls you into thinking it's a lovely heartwarming film about friendship at the start doesn't it and them wham, horrific racism.

    Now going to have to devastate myself all over again by rewatching the tv series aren't I.

    Warm and nostalgic. Nice to see a non-European telling of what felt like a familiar coming of age story. 

    Some lovely frame within a frame cinematography.

    A great premise with some very good acting from Pattinson (special shout out to Ruffalo for reprising his Poor Things character and Collette for her sauce obsessed enabler). Although a lot of enjoyable moments and definitely my favourite of Bong's English language films there was something about it that just didn't quite hit the mark for me.
