    - good and evil surround us at all times

    ★★★½

    Wanted to like it more than ended up liking it. The vibes are fun, and the aesthetics gritty and strong but didn’t hit home as much as I would have liked. Still great acting and overall a good movie but felt like there was much more potential. 

    I wasn’t a HIGE fan of the Photographers role in the storytelling. It almost seemed like a cop out and less immersive.
