  There are really solid 3.5s and really great 3.5s and this is the latter.

  Really pretty score and I thought it had some nice shots. Before Trilogy-esque perpetual longing and dreaming, which I enjoy, yet did not feel as invested in. It didn’t make me feel as much as I thought it would. This film doesn’t exist without New York either, arguably its best character…The ideas of hope and possibility could never come across as sleekly in another city, even with the aid of time. 

  Conceptually this is a pretty flick and I’m happy…
