    I did not think the reviews for this movie would be this high. (Edit: makes more sense now)

    Visually, this movie is stunning. Sweeping 360 shots, split diopter shots, and birds eye shots are lit beautifully, and it’s apparent that every movement was intentional. That being said, it felt like these shots were not even used for anything besides the fact of being able to do them. They are beautiful, but it came off as self glaze-esque.

    Acting is interesting.…

    Every shot felt like a moving painting, but not in the sense where that’s what film was first said to be as an art but in the sense that the use of light and movement and texture was just beautiful.

    That being said this shot was so disjointed that I struggled to pay attention through the whole thing. Definitely need to rewatch it but damn it was beautiful.

    Colman Domingo absolutely crushed this role. 100%. 

    Camerawork was subdued which really let the story and actors shine.
