    Incredible lead performance

    Update next-day: Can’t stop thinking about how hollow and surface-level and haphazard this felt during the first hour and how by the end I’d completely revised that opinion of the piece as a whole on the realisation that that’s exactly the outlook that the men in this film see the experiences of the girls. Powerful and terrifying.

    Pure undiluted cinema.

    Fucking immense. The ultimate “American epic”.

    Friday night, opening night, with Seb and Liam

    UPDATE now I’m home: This could have been 6 hours long - told the entire story, filling in all the blanks - and still have been as captivating. Corbet and Fastvold have amalgamated real life stories and distilled them into an empathetic script so perfectly with this.
