    This was such a blast, wow. Truly a type of film that you don't see very often anymore.

    Beautifully shot, outstanding editing, and marvelous performances, where the spotlight of course is on Fassbender and Blanchett. They have electric chemistry in here; you never doubt for a second that they are devoted to one another.

    The music and sound design is also used very well here, particularly in the big reveal at the end. Good humor throughout as well. The polygraph…

    Yeah this was really entertaining. After Parasite I too would've taken the big studio check and put into the screen my raw, unfiltered thoughts. I get what it's going for plot wise but I don't think really manages to nail properly all of it.

    Sidenote it's so funny that now I can't hear Steven Yeun without thinking of Invincible.

    Daniel Craig is phenomenal, and getting awards buzz would not…

    This one really connected with me, what can I say. I prefer this version of the story much much more than the traditional Disney one. Loved the overall message of the movie. Also Ewan McGregor stole the show for me I loved his Sebastian J. Cricket (this reminded of my biggest internet moment which was when he replied to my question about Beauty and the Beast in his AMA)
