    Rewatched this for the first time since I was like 12-13. This is seriously one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. Denis Villeneuve- How do you do it????

    Just as amazing on a rewatch. See first review for actual review. It’s just such a feel good movie. Probably because I love Bob Dylan.

But this was definitely not an easy task to pull off. Todd Haynes
