    Ambitious in its scale and flawless in delivery - felt as though we were watching a four act play. I enjoyed the vignettes of those impacted rather than a traditional crime/courtroom drama. Really fantastic.

    Devastating and beautiful and terrifying. Fernanda Torres giving one of the best performances you’ll see maybe ever.

    A masterpiece -epic in narrative scale yet so intimate. Best cinematography of the past year (sorry conclave) and fantastic score/sound design.

    The two act format was so clever and the epilogue brought together things not evident without the full context. The more I reflect the more allusions and metaphors I see throughout. Adrian Brody deserves the Oscar.

    Hear me out - more movies with an intermission. Felt like I was out in the theatre watching a play but with the added benefit of reclining chair.

    If you saw me on QF631 with a glass of wine sobbing to this movie no you didn’t
