Despite its storytelling being as out of focus as its cinematography in the first half or so, a few miscast roles (Curtis and Lourd especially) and just plain bad dialogue, by the end it kind of came together just enough to make me really care for Anderson’s Shelley, mainly thanks to her really dedicated and affecting performance together with Bautista and Shipka’s subtly heartbreaking turns.

An overall well designed and constructed effort built on very shaky foundations.
